Hello /an/ I need advice on getting rid of what I think are midges,

It started a couple of weeks ago. These small flies would start buzzing around in front of my computer. I'd kill a couple then the next day I'd have one or two come around again.

Now it's starting to get out of control. I have no idea where they're coming from. They're even getting into the fridge and dying inside. Every day I open the fridge door there's a group of them dead at the bottom.

I don't know where they're laying their eggs and I don't think the larva are easy to spot either.

How do I get rid of them?

Pic related is what they look like, some of them are red in color.

As a scotbro I can assure you those are not midges. They're too big.

Those are phorid flies. They don't especially hurt anything, but good luck getting rid of them, it's difficult.

I bought some of those ribbon glue traps and hung em out in the kitchen my bathroom and my room and they're starting to catch some of them.

I just need to find their breeding place.

I tried the window glue traps but I've seen them test it with a leg then fly away before getting stuck.

Also thanks for the ID. Was having a hard time searching for a match.

You want to know how you can get rid of them? Clean up. Get all the garbage and food and sugary drinks out your room and clean up. Stop being nasty. Clean and organize your room. Open all the windows in your home and let the stale air vent out.
