Those in South Gulf Cove describe these as unwanted and even disgusting neighbors.
Gloria Dumas-Ropp lives in South Gulf Cove. “It’s in the coffeemaker isn’t that unbelievable?” Dumas-Ropp said.
And, as you can see, they’re making a home for themselves in the most unwelcoming of places.
Roger Risley lives there, too. “You see them flying into the food,” Risley said.
Risley moved to South Gulf Cove for the beauty and the wildlife, not for Hump-Backed Phorid Flies.
“I’ve tried to implement a number of different strategies, from the vinegar and detergent to electric shock for the bugs,” Risley said.
