    Bugs attracted to moisture?
    So, I left some dishes in the sink with water in them and now I have all these little black flies that gravitate to moisture. I've taken care of the moisture but the bugs are still here? How do I get rid of them?:confused:

    They are probably knats. I had them once. I put something sweet and sticky in the bottom of a jar. They all went in to get it and I covered it with a piece of cardbord and walked the jar outside where I threw it in the trash.

    Also sounds like fruit flies. Make sure any fruit is in fridge (at least for a while) and that any in garbage is outside. You might also use strong cleaner in garbage disposal (or top of drain).
