HELP! I can't walk into our rv bathroom without having to spray for the bugs first!
don't know where they're coming from: the ceiling vent, around the toilet, or the drains. i've bug bombed the rv, didn't help much. they look about the size of big fruit flies. no where else in the rig, not in the kitchen or living room. i spray bug spray around the toilet and inside to be able to gain entrance. they first arrived in weslaco, tx, and now we're in dickinson, tx near galveston. any ideas on what they are, and how to get rid of them? -------------------- [i]Teresa and Keith
Full-timing while remodeling restaurants around SW USA Old Rexhall we love, but looking for our new Mobile Palace We have a BIG pick-up which tows a rented auto transport to carry my Toy Pup. This information was effective until 2010, when Teresa went her own way. Don't know if Keith still owns the RV or not. Teresa ended up moving to the Rio Grande Valley in a mobile home park. THIS is the place to come from October thru April. Many RV parks, and there are so many activities all the parks offer! I can dance from 9 am to 10 pm every night, go to bingo, play shuffleboard, do crafts, play instruments in jam sessions, golf, go to the nearby town of Nuevo Progreso for cheap dental and medical and items and dancing and delicious food and no rip-offs and no gun battles by the drug cartels. weather here is amazing! Roses grow better here than in Portland, Oregon, the town of the Rose Parade. Cheap living here. many rv parks to choose from. nice people. park rent is from 250 month to 1000 month, depending on your desires. this area is a party town for active senior citizens. lotsa hospitals around here, too, to cater to the Winter Texans. Put in Rio Grande Valley in a google search, and see what happens. I suggest Weslaco, Donna, or Mercedes. The other towns are too big with crazy traffic, and not near Nuevo Progreso. Any questions, please respond to zingy4444@yahoo.com. A fan of RVing and fun retirement! |

They are quite likely sewer flies which cold be breeding in your black tank or even in the over-flow of the toilet it's self. For the toilet, fill the bowl up to the top and then add about 1/8 cup of chlorine bleach. Next run more water into the bowl, causing that bleach mix to flow into the over-flow which also has a chamber that works much like a "P" trap in a sink drain. Once you get a good shot of that mix into the trap, let it sit for at least an hour before you flush again, because each flush does add water to that chamber. That will kill any critters in the trap. For the tank, I would use one of the natural tank treatments and allow it to fill completely before you dump the next time. Just about any of the treatment products will kill and eggs or larva in your tank.
