Little flying critters

[RBard48]

We have been on the road for over 2 months and all of a sudden today little flying bugs come out when flushing the head. I did a “flush” of the tank with the San-t-flush a week ago. How do we attack these critters? Any help would be appreciated.

Sound like fruit fly's / gnats! They grow fast! Ton of videos online how to kill them.

what works for us is we use happy camper enzyme treatment, kills smell and bugs on 2 blacks.

Maybe drain flies. One reason to keep both waste valves close even on full hook ups. They live in the parks septic system then move into your piping when you leave your gray tank open. Not a far migration to get into the black tank if they have set up shop in drain hose. Many many moons and several RV's ago we got some in the black & gray tanks. We poured hot water down the toilet and the kitchen drains to get rid of them. These days with porcelain toilets I would be wary of pouring hot water down the toilet. Hot boiling water and a cold porcelain toilet could be a recipe for disaster.
I think I would go with macdaddy's enzyme treatment.

I always leave valves closed and only open when dumping which is why I’m concerned that they showed up after 2 months on the road. We have traveled over 5000 miles and have had many wonderful campgrounds but those critters decided to make an appearance today. Got another month on the road so hoping to get them under control soon.

Phorid Flies maybe??
