alpineweissbimmer questioned:
I have my fireplace door sealed with plastic due to we do not use it and want to keep the draft out. We did leave a burnt piece of wood inside though, but the flue is closed as is the ash removal door. There have been a dozen flies buzzing around in my fireplace, and there is no food source in there? I am stumped to why they are so many and persistently in my fireplace? Thoughts anyone? Thanks in advance!

I am hoping you have a cap on top, if not, anything could have got in the top and died, maggots would have fallen to the bottom, then hatched, and now trying to get out, don’t worry they really only live like three days,
flies are attrached to waste and food so i suggest you burn the some wood to kill the flies and call a someone to clean it
If the flies are huge ,and green it was a rat that died ,but for sure something died in there.Like above stated make sure you have a cap on your fireplace.
