Drain flies are a widespread pest insect in the UK. Drain flies lay their eggs in drains, sewers and other standing water. They can breed rapidly, meaning that if you see a few adult flies there is probably substantially more eggs. Adult flies will fly out of drains and ordinarily die quickly, but they can be considered a nuisance inside houses. They do not usually carry diseases but could contaminate food products.
Drain flies can be recognised by their small size and dark colour. They are covered in hair which gives them a fluffy appearance, and they also have substantial wings which they fold above themselves when not in use. Drain flies can be easily confused with fruit flies or other types of flies. Precise identification and location is essential to a successful 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 about 4 days. If you find flies caught on the tape then the drain is infested. The most effective way to control a drain fly infestation is to eliminate their breeding areas. They prefer to breed on organic matter that’s caught in clogged drains, and so comprehensive cleaning of drains is an effective way to remove drain flies. However, proper cleaning of pipes can be quite messy. Expert pest control companies can identify and locate a drain fly infestation and execute a successful treatment to regulate the pests.
