Best fly smoke bomb for kitchen? Diagram included

We rent and the kitchen is absolutely knackered. The draining board leaks.

Every year, for ten months of the year, we get hundreds, thousands of black flies hatching from somewhere under the sink (marked by the red dots). We know that’s where they come from as we set up a video of the kick board under the sink!

The bottom kitchen cupboards do not have a proper back, so you can see brick wall behind them for the top quarter of their height.

I would like to put a fly smoke bomb under the sink, behind the kitchen cupboards. So sort of in between the back of the cupboards and the brick wall. We are sick of these flies.

Can anyone recommend a smoke bomb please?

(We did try to approach local insect removal companies but none of them could identify the fly, or had strange ideas about them coming in from the outside - which they do not! So we just want to fix it ourselves.)

are you in the UK? What does your landlord say about fixing the kitchen?

We've used the Rentokil insect fogger in our loft before to get rid of cluster flies and it worked a treat. The noise of thousands and thousands of flies buzzing and dying was like something out of a horror film though.

Yes in the U.K.! Landlord is rubbish though, we tell him about stuff but he doesn’t do anything to fix it.

Oh gross! But on the other hand it sounds like just what we need 😄 thank you for the tip.
