I would like to know how to get rid those pesty little sink/drain flies. I've tried baking soda and vinegar, drain cleaners and put plastic over the drains.

My carpets are infested with fleas I've tried everything and nothing seems to work.
I worked for a nursing home as a maintenance tech. every spring the first floor was flooded with lady bugs. They love to congregate in the corners. Our pest guy from Smithereen said the only thing to do was to vacuum them up. So we used out shop vacs and vacuumed them up.
https://www.doyourownpestcontrol.com/lady_bugs.htm Check this site. I agree with William and get out the shop vac!
Had the same problem at our previous home in lower Michigan. Shop Vac, Shop Vac, Shop Vac!
Thank you, they are a nightmare. Our vacuum bags are full. We have learned to cover open drink glasses and cans...... to keep from finding out that they dropped in unnoticed. We also were told to cover the end of the vacuum tube so they won't crawl back out if they are still alive.
Japanese Beetles are not Lady Bugs. Check them out because if what you have ARE Lady Bugs, put them in jars or boxes with some grass and sell them. They are great for getting rid of garden pests!
Thank you, I will check and see.
