Hello These appear to be fungus gnats which breed in organic material in soil--Do you have potted plants in the office? Or check the exterior this may be a cause of the problem. Occasionaly they can be found in attics where there is a moisture problem along with mold growth. Thank you Lynn Frank BCE Suburban Pest Management. -----Original Message----- From: pestlist-ow...@museumpests.net [mailto:pestlist-ow...@museumpests.net] On Behalf Of Jablonski, Megan T CIV NHHC, NUM Sent: Friday, May 27, 2016 4:02 PM To: pestlist@museumpests.net Subject: [pestlist] Please help!

I am not sure how nervous I should be about them! This particular trap is near an exterior door, but there were 47 of these flying insects on this one trap alone. I am familiar with springtails, and we tend to see surges of them this time of the year, but I have not seen these insects in such high numbers before. Please help!
