Weird one here but it's vulgar and making me boke!

For the past few days my room has been full of tiny midgie(sp?) flies! You kill 3 on the walls and within minutes there's another 3 back!

The room is high up and there's no way an animal could've died under the floor boards or so on. Besides, they don't seem to be that type of fly!

I emptied the bins out, despite not having any food in there. I cleaned and hoovered out the room(despite doing this often) but to no avail.

I was working late last night, came in at 12, made myself toast and cheese and sat with it in bed. Stupid mistake. I nodded off and the plate was left with a couple of crusts on it! Woke up this morning and counted 11 of the little buggers on the ceiling and 4 of them on the toast! :( Yuck!

Not really sure what else to do, if I get a chance later I'll get a fly spray but I'm out of options. They can't come in the radiators? I got a new plant but they were never around it! Stuck it downstairs just incase, though.

edit: just to note, the toast thing doesn't happen often as I only work late once or twice a week.
 
I've taken to using a can of deodrant and a lighter when I see any of them though. They usually convene on my light shade in my living room, a short quick burst of flame sorts them out but doesn't singe the shade.

Made me laugh :p

Just been to the shop and got a fly spray, I'll fill the room and leave it for 15 minutes!

I recently bought a bonsai tree but it doesn't have any fertiliser or anything, just soil?

Oh and yeah, they are tiny little buggers, not the kind I'd generally associate with rotting. Odd.
