What are Phorid Flies?
Small dark “humpbacked” flies. They run more than they fly. Often confused with fruit flies.
Are they dangerous?
Nuisance. A burst of them can mean a broken drain line or a dead animal in a void.
What causes them?
Rotting organic matter in drains, crawl soil, and wall voids.
Signs in the house
Tiny humpbacked flies running across a counter or coming from a floor crack.
In Middle Tennessee
Houses with a damp crawl or a slow floor drain.
