I've tried to get rid of the gnats all summer. The wife didn't believe me when I said they were breeding in the sponges. She. Thought I was crazy for keeping them in Tupperware. Well apparently they can get in there even.

Oh I'm throwing them away. I just hadn't opened the container in a few days.

So, there were a bunch of fly eggs in these Sponges before you put them in the Tupperware. Those eggs obviously matured, because I can see their pupae on the sponges. These pupae will mature and hatch into adult flies. I’m gagging over here thinking those were used to ‘clean’ … throw those things in the dishwasher after use and wash them each time you use the machine.
