Normally breed in potted plants that have been overwatered in the home or office environment. Do you have many flies? Some treatments have included adding cedar wood chips to potted plants and use of nematodes and making sure that the plants do not get overwatered. Maybe in a live insect area there is moist organic material in other areas as well. Possibly dead insects, soils, etc.
