Are you finding a swarm of tiny pests hanging around your drain or even when your sink is clean? It might be drain flies. Though small, these flying insects can quickly multiply and get out of control, making the kitchen or other areas of your home feel dirty. Here is more information on these gnats and how to prevent them from returning:
<2>1. What they look like.
Drain flies, also known as drain gnats or sewer gnats, are small, dark-colored insects that thrive in moist environments.
<2>2. Why they happen.
Stagnant water in sinks, showers, or tubs can provide an ideal breeding ground for drain flies. Additionally, decaying organic matter in drains, such as food particles or hair, can attract these pests. Infrequent cleaning of drains and pipes can also allow organic material to build up, creating a perfect environment for these gnats to thrive.
<2>3. What to do.
Keeping your pipes flowing and ensuring you don’t have standing water in your home are ways to keep these pests at bay. You can also get rid of them with home remedies, or with commercial products such as drain cleaner or insecticidal sprays specifically designed for drain flies.
