\"\"<\/a>The not so lovely drain fly<\/a> goes by several different names.\u00a0 Besides a drain fly, it\u2019s been called a sewer fly, drain moth, and filter fly.\u00a0 These tiny little bugs are brown or black in color and are commonly found hanging around drainpipe openings.\u00a0 The drain fly measures no longer than 1\/5 of an inch and has hairy, dark wings which make it resemble a moth.<\/p>\n

Although drain flies<\/a> are considered harmless to humans, some people believe that they do carry harmful pathogens because of the materials that they consume and areas that they hang out in.\u00a0 Drain flies will multiply extremely fast and it is not uncommon to see these flies hanging out on the walls and ceilings near an affected drain.\u00a0 Drain flies are not adept at flying far and instead tend to jump or fly short distances. If you find drain flies in a particular room, chances are that you have a breeding source in that particular room.<\/p>\n

Drain flies<\/a> are attracted to stagnant water in pipes.\u00a0 People are most likely to find drain flies upon returning home from a vacation or returning to a vacation house after being away for a spell.\u00a0 Businesses also suffer from drain flies from poorly maintained drainage pipes.\u00a0 Flushing water through your pipes will kill off and dispose of young drain flies and eggs.\u00a0 Adult drain flies can easily survive both hot and cold water running through the pipes and they will be able to escape and begin the reproduction cycle once again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Look for drain flies<\/a> in septic tanks, storm drains, damp leaves, garbage cans, toilet bowls, drains (especially in basements and garages) or other areas where stagnant water is a problem.\u00a0 The best way to completely eliminate drain flies from your New Jersey home or business is to hire a pest control company<\/a>.<\/p>\n
