?? #Drain #fly #infestations occur primarily due to the presence of standing #water and #organic matter in drains, where these flies thrive.
The below are the main reasons for a drain fly infestation:
?? Organic Build-up in Drains: Drain flies lay eggs in moist, organic material like debris or slime that accumulates inside drains, pipes, and sewer lines. The flies feed on this organic matter.
?? Standing Water: Areas with stagnant or slow-moving water, such as drains, clogged pipes, or sewage lines, provide an ideal breeding ground. They often breed in places like bathroom and kitchen drains, particularly when there's leftover moisture.
?? Leaky Pipes: Cracks or leaks in plumbing systems can create damp areas where drain flies can breed unnoticed.
?? Sewage Issues: If there's a backup or blockage in the sewer system, it can contribute to the growth of drain flies, as they are attracted to the sewage and waste.
?? Unclean Drains or Gutters: When drains or gutters aren't regularly cleaned, organic matter builds up, encouraging infestation.
?? Preventing and controlling drain fly infestations involves cleaning the drains thoroughly, eliminating moisture, and fixing any plumbing issues that may create standing water.
