Drain flies are a widespread pest insect in the United Kingdom. Drain flies lay their eggs in drains, sewers and other standing water. They breed very quickly, which means that if you discover a handful of adult flies there is likely a lot more eggs. Adult flies will fly out of drains and usually die quickly, but they can be considered a nuisance inside homes. They do not tend to 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 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 crucial to a successful treatment.
If you believe you have a drain fly infestation, you can test drains by half covering them with a piece of tape. Leave this for about four 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 like 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. Specialist pest control companies can identify and locate a drain fly infestation and perform an effective treatment to control the pests.
