Drain flies are a common pest insect in the United Kingdom. Drain flies lay their eggs in drains, sewers and other standing water. They can breed rapidly, meaning that if you discover a couple of adult flies there is probably many more eggs. Adult flies will fly out of drains and normally die quickly, but they can be a nuisance inside houses. They don’t usually spread diseases but could contaminate food products.
Drain flies can be recognised by their little size and dark colour. They are covered in hair which gives them a fluffy appearance, and they also have sizeable wings which they fold above themselves when not in use. Drain flies can be easily confused with fruit flies or other species of flies. Correct identification and location is vital to an effective treatment.
If you suspect you have a drain fly infestation, you can test drains by half covering them with a bit of tape. Leave this for approximately 4 days. If you find flies stuck on the tape then the drain is infested. The best way to control a drain fly infestation is to remove their breeding areas. They prefer to breed on organic matter that’s caught in clogged drains, and so thorough cleaning of drains is an effective way to remove drain flies. However, proper cleaning of pipes can be quite unpleasant. Expert pest control companies will be able to identify and locate a drain fly infestation and execute an effective treatment to regulate the pests.
