I used the search function and tried the whiskey/cigarette trick..with limited success. I tried the juice/dish liquid traps, too..also limited success.
We have an 80 gallon tank full of hissers, and I am finding 1 or 2 DOA adults every other day or so. We do not use substrate and I clean that tank every day. (They're pets). No food is ever left uneaten in the tank. I don't think the adult/sub adult deaths are due to age. I am hesitant to move the tank to the garage..seems like there'd just be easier access for more Phorids? We currently keep them in the basement. The tank is simply too large to cover with pantyhose... There is never food left out in the house for humans, either. Everything is kept in tuppers or the fridge/freezer... I have never seen them in the other species' tanks...
So- where are they coming from? (we don't use crickets )
How do I get RID of them?
