The air hums with an unsettling rhythm—a high-pitched, metallic whine that seems to vibrate through the walls of your home. You’ve noticed them first: the tiny, winged intruders, darting in erratic patterns, their presence announced by the faintest rustling in the rafters or the occasional thud against a windowpane. They’re *nats*—the dreaded fruit flies of […]
