Drain Flies

Drain flies are small, fuzzy insects measuring about 1/8 inch in length with moth-like wings covered in fine hairs. These weak-flying pests are commonly found in bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas with moisture, particularly around drains and pipes where they breed in organic buildup. Drain flies do not bite or transmit diseases but can become a significant nuisance when present in large numbers, often indicating underlying sanitation issues. Effective control involves cleaning drains thoroughly, eliminating standing water, and addressing moisture problems at their source.
