I was wondering if the reason flies or gnats "stalk" certain people had anything to do with odor. It seems that they are attracted to smells, so why wouldn't smell be the reason they seek out certain individuals? This is not said in a derogatory manner nor meant to hurt anyone's feelings. Nor is it saying that anyones smells "bad". I just think that the insects "sense" a body odor that draws them to a person (sweat, natural body odor, pheremones, etc.). Some chemical or combination of chemicals may be at work here.
Also, I noticed that gnats are drawn to mirrors, glass, straws left in drinks like lemonade, sweet tea, pop, orange juice, etc. I managed to smite a lot of them on the glass of my storm door. They seemed to be drawn to the light outside and landed on the panes. Since there was no reflection, they were quite easy to pick off and they kept on coming! They are drawn to light, I find. I left my house door open and they came to the only source-that storm door! Me and a spray bottle of Clorox went to work! I am patient. It paid off. They multiply quickly but since they don't pay the mortgage or grocery bill-I do! Guess whose got to pack up and get out? It sure as heck ain't me!
From what distance can a fly smell food?

You're reading Do you ever get "stalker" flies? The type of flies that while reading, browsing the internet, watching TV etc, it keeps flying around or into your head. You swat at it but it won't leave you alone?
