As the title says I seem to have tiny little flies in my cab
On a Sunday when I go to fill up.
And before anyone says no it no dirty of rotten food etc.
But the last 3 Sunday they have been buzzing about. I normally
finish Friday dinner time and don't open my van till now
And they have been there for the last 3 weeks.
My thoughts are I've flooded my van a while ago but I got all
The water out by nocking up the plugs in the foot well, this was
months ago and they've just appeared really, no leak at all for
About 6 months?? ( I was thinking stagnent water)
Any thought people?
Many thanks
Colin

-
some animal has crawled into your van and died!!! :D :D ;D ;D ;D ;D
tfr or virosol should get rid of em.......or ..........err!.......FLYSPRAY!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
Hang up one of those sticky fly tapes
-
do you have any fruit in there ?
No fruit in there but I do have micro fibre cloths
With viro-sol on ( which is fruit based) I use to wipe the sills
I wonder...
-
Are they not there on Monday?
-
Not really, I open my van up on a Sunday to fill tanks and get me books, sort cloths out ect. But they aren't really there though the week may be 1 or 2
But when me van has been left for a few day I open the can door and stand back!
Little midgys I'd call them not really flies
-
could be coffin flies. catch one in the morning then get a foto ,upload it on here ,so the forensics dept. can analyse in depth the problem ;)
-
I wish I had your problems, Colin! ;D
-
You could try leaving your window open, a tiny bit, when you finish on Friday.
Or open up the van Sunday morning, a few hours before filling up.
-
Ha ha tosh ye this is all I have to complain about mate life is good ;)

could be possible that they are fruit fly's, would like to know the outcome either way as intreging ;)

Have any of you guys ever seen house flies stuck to a window and covered in a white stuff? I used to think it was customers spraying the fly with fly killer; but it's not.
Seen it?
I know what it is! ;D
-
If you have water in either a tank or bucket, check it for fly larvae.
I had this last summer in my 400 litre tank. Left if for a few warm days and the tank contents looked like a natural history experiment.
-
Check your banana is rotten it must be fruit fly. ;D ;D ;D
-
try putting some spiders in van the night before .
-
Think I may have accidentally solved the problem
Early by flooding my van ( again )
I gues I'll find out this week
-

Flies but wet feet ;D

Colin, Sounds to me as if your van hasn't dried out.
Beg, steal, borrow a dehumidifier and put it in the van over this next weekend.
