Like I keep saying, bug proof your fruiting chamber with micropore tape and caulking backer rod, and put out wine/vinegar traps for the flies. That’s what I would do.

If it is fruit flies - i'm also in the south. I've always used straight up apple cider vinegar with some dawn in it. throw a cup of the stuff out on a counter and watch them go for it and drown like little fools.

Steps i have tried with success (do all of it, and maybe more -  go nuclear option here):
1. get rid of any standing water. Period. dump boiling water down your sinks and close the darn drains if you can. Shut toilet lids (bleach cleaning tablets also can work to keep them out so i've heard, but, i havent tried that one). Got a cat box? yeah, make sure that thing stays spotless while you deal with this.

Steps i haven't had to take but apply - If you have a dishwasher that hasn't run in a while- run it with cleaning tabs. If you have a washing machine that hasn't run in a while run it on hot with bleach and some whites.

2. get rid of any trash - open air food - especially fruit. I've even had the little assholes go for not over ripe onions (not even a friggen fruit for crying out loud) though so i temporarily got rid of my bowl i keep near the stove for cooking.
3. Set the above traps, several in a big room at least one in a small room that has had any get in there.

If it's gnats I dont know what to tell you but i've never seen those go indoors heavily, maybe i'm in the wrong parts of the south but i kinda suspect it's fruit flies not gnats.

Not to be preachy, and usually after you've dealt with them you don't have to be quite so paranoid about things.



Ive tried everything you recommended

ill try plastic wrap on the top.  Last time I used paper towels instead of micropore tape because you cant get micropore tape out here and I ordered some but it wasnt near what I needed.  Anyway this is my last set up that they got through with ease.  Maybe ill try plastic wrap on the top instead of the lid.


Its like they can get through anything.  Sorry im super frusterated.  I just spent 40$ on this mosquito net that isnt going to work...

IF you didn't cut it or anything to damage it, take it back. Then in the future make sure you inspect things before you just buy.
