Tiny black flies
We had an issue with phorid flies last June.. since we had the plumbing done we haven't had any issues. A few weeks ago I noticed small black flies, the phorid fly we had were brownish in color and you could clearly see the hump. These little things (in my opinion) don't look similar at all. Can anyone please help. Thanks

Leyla cypress looks dead in middle
There is an abandoned house next door. It appears a person from bank may have sprayed for weeds and overspray landed on our trees. A line across middle of trees is brown and limbs appear dead. Will they produce any new growth??
