We are still in Mexico.
a couple of days ago, we noticed HUNDREDS of tiny black flying bugs on the bottom shelf of the frig. Most were dead, but a lot were still flying around. They aren't flying around the coach and then getting past the gasket. They MAY have gotten in on something and then had a massive mating experience , but the frig is pretty empty and don't see anything suspicious. The only " outlet" I know about is the drip tube.....but haven't checked it out yet.
Anyone have any ideas??
We are at a loss. I will look into this more tomorrow.
Thanks
Spanish Fly? ;D
Wish it was funny
Here's a picture
Fruit flies
Just trying to cheer you up. ...bugs are a PITA. I've noticed a lot of what appears to be in your picture, here, the last few days. (SE AZ) Not sure what they are, but none in the coach. (yet) If they weren't in the fridge I would suggest bug spray, but I'll bet someone has a remedy.
iof they are fruit flies as roger suggested, apple cider vinegar and dish soap are all you need.....
you will quickly know if they are fruit flies, they will head for anything sweet - especially aple cider vinegar

Buy an ozone generator. For just over $40 delivered, they will get rid of the flies and any other smells. Open the fridge, direct the air flow in, turn it on for 30 minutes, let sit for a couple of hours and the whole coach should be odor free and no flies.
Europe uses O3 on their water supply instead of chlorine.

Glenn I had the same problem a little while back. I had to bought a bunch of oranges and put them in the refrigerator since I had room there and I wanted to keep them a little longer. A little while later I noticed a bunch of fruit flies many of them dead since I keep my fridge around 36°. They weren't too happy.
Tim's got it right. That's what I did apple cider vinegar and a cup mixed with a little honey and dish detergent the first time I put a cover over in punched holes in it with cellophane. The second time I didn't bother with the holes in the cellophane they work just as well either way. I used one of those little yogurt bottles that holds a few ounces. It was annoying for a little while that's all. You're not going to get a disease from them. They're not going to bite you. Now I usually wash my oranges and take them out of the package. The eggs are on the fruit.
Mine happened before Mexico so my guess is the little buggers were illegal immigrants something to the US and then I brought him back in New Mexico LOL. It seems they didn't fill out the proper paperwork. Either way they all died.
Fruit flies no problems. Now the stink bugs that I brought down from Georgia I believe, those took me months to get rid of. Don't know where they were hiding now but every once in a while there they were. They got a first-hand look at what my black tank looked like. But then I had to watch this stink off my hands.
I don't usually worry about the bugs I can see, it's the one's you can't that really will get you😁.
Thanks to all,
we set out fruit fly traps, which usually work well for us, to no avail. we will try again, and I will try and find the drain pipe and give a look see
The condensate drain should either have a restrictor in it, a "drip loop" or into a container that generally contains water/condensate.
Forget the fruit flies for a second-- you don't want hot air to "rise" in the condensate drain to warm your refrigerator.
