How to get rid of small spiders and small fruit flies
We get small spiders and small flies in the house. Do they come from the crawl space or from our bath and kitchen drains hard to tell. My husband has bites on his feet and legs from them. Is there any solution as to how to get rid of them? I have tried dish soap with vinegar, also wine and dish soap with no luck. Any suggestions

Those tiny pests will be attracted to fruit and veggies left out on a counter or table. They also will get at peelings in the trash , then they breed in the drains. I make sure all peelings are put in smaller bags, tied off tightly and then thrown in the trash and never leave fruit out very long. The bugs actually come from the containers the markets get the produce in. You may have seen them flying around in the produce dept. Also spray with a mixture of 3 drops of dish soap in a small spray bottle filled with vinegar,or put a bowl of vinegar out with 3 drops dish liquid added. they'll be gone in no time.
If they are coming from your drain, you need a plumber to replace the pipes under the sink. The pipes get a build up of gunk in them and drain flies grow in there. As to the spiders, go to the local vets and get some siphotrol bombs. They kill everything from fleas to spiders and silverfish. Follow the directions on the bombs closely. Especially airing out the house after.
