I have them too and they are making me loopy! I feed greens and fruit to my Beardies in the morning, and fruit flavored baby food to my Cresteds at night and figured that's what was attracting them. Found one in my Amel Corns sterilite tub today. When I mist the gecko cages they come out in a swarm and I go nuts trying to catch them. Don't know if the geckos are eating them or not. I bought some chemical free old fashioned sticky fly tape and hung some around. And yes, I did lean into it already and got it stuck all in my hair YUK! But within a day it was filled with at least 30 of them and now has well over 100. It's safe around cricket cages since it has no actual pesticide. I'll try the vinigar and wine tricks too. I've heard coworkers complaining about them this year too, and they don't have reptiles, so it's not just cuz of our animals. Just we might have more trouble getting rid of them if we have "breeding conditions" in our setups, like my Crested tanks with top soil substrate and daily mistings. Good luck to us all!
