Say Goodbye to Drain Flies
Noticing tiny, fuzzy flies near your sink or shower? Those are drain flies, also called moth flies or sewer gnats. While they’re harmless, they can quickly turn into an annoying infestation.
What Are Drain Flies?
Drain flies are small, grayish flies that live and breed in the organic buildup inside drains. They’re most common around sinks, tubs, floor drains, and anywhere with standing water or moisture.
They don’t bite or spread disease, but signal that it’s time to clean your drains.
How to Get Rid of Drain Flies

Clean it out
Keep it dry: Fix leaks and clear any standing water.
Prevention Tips
