Drain Fly Moth Control

What are these bugs flying out of my drains? Chances are that if you’re noticing some pesky winged insects either spawning from inside a drainage pipe vent in your basement or hanging out in your kitchen or throne room, you’re dealing with sewer gnats, more commonly known as drain flies or drain moths, about ¼ of an inch in size and, unfortunately for you, tend to come in droves.

Why do I have them? Drain flies are a simple creature. You’ve got build up in your drainage areas and they love to flock towards moist organic material to deposit their developing young’uns. These maggots will then consume this material and grow up to be healthy, happy drain flies, thus repeating their endless cycle.

What can I do to help the situation? Options for speeding up the treatment done for any sewage/piping based pest are somewhat limited, so the next step would be prevention. Limiting the amount of organic material put into your drains, garbage disposals and sinks will be the most important factor in preventing further issues. Other ways to curb a future issue include regularly cleaning/snaking drains as well as using a tight knit mesh cap on any large drainage outlets.

They’re quite annoying. How do I get rid of them? Due to the fact that, in most cases, these pesky pests will lay their eggs in the untouched regions of s-pipes and drainage outlets, handling them tends to be difficult without professional help.
