Small black ones could be fruit flies - have you got any over-ripe fruit you've forgotten about anywhere? They can also come from the soil in old plant pots.

I remembered this thread a little while ago about flies - could be the answer if you have a loft/attic?

Check your dried fruit, open bags of flour and sugar etc. If they look vaguely webby they could be incubating the maggots/flies - bleugh.
