🪰 DRAIN FLIES! Tiny Flies, BIG Problems! 🪰
Ever notice those tiny, fuzzy, moth-like flies hanging around your sinks, floor drains, bathrooms, or utility rooms? You might have a DRAIN FLY INFESTATION!
At Complete Ground Control Pest Services, we know these little pests can become a BIG nuisance in homes, restaurants, hotels, commercial kitchens, and assisted living facilities!
🔎 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT DRAIN FLIES:
🪰 They're terrible flyers! Unlike houseflies, drain flies are weak flyers. They tend to make short, hopping flights and spend much of their time resting on walls near their breeding sites.
🥚 They're breeding right under your nose! Female drain flies can lay dozens of eggs in the slimy organic buildup found inside drains, pipes, and other wet areas.
⏰ They multiply FAST! Under favorable conditions, drain flies can complete their life cycle in as little as 1–3 weeks, allowing small problems to turn into major infestations.
🦠 They LOVE FILTH! Their larvae feed on bacteria, fungi, and decomposing organic material found in the gelatinous slime inside drains.
🚿 They're not always coming from your sink! Floor drains, sump pits, sewage leaks, condensate lines, and other hidden moisture sources can provide perfect breeding conditions.
🛠️ SO HOW DO YOU GET RID OF THEM?
✅ Find the source! Identifying where they're breeding is the MOST important step.
✅ Remove the slime! Physically scrub and clean drain walls to remove the organic buildup where larvae develop.
✅ Use appropriate drain cleaners! Enzyme or microbial drain maintenance products can help break down organic material. Follow product directions.
✅ Fix moisture problems! Repair leaks, address standing water, and eliminate hidden breeding areas.
✅ Professional pest control! In stubborn infestations, professional inspections and targeted treatments can help identify hidden breeding sources and control adult flies.
🚨 HERE'S THE BIG SECRET!
Spraying the adult flies DOES NOT solve the underlying problem!
You can kill hundreds of adult drain flies, but if you don't eliminate their breeding source, MORE WILL KEEP COMING!
At Complete Ground Control, we believe in finding the SOURCE of your pest problem, not just treating the symptoms!
