Drain Flys Fruit Flies Control

Drain flies are small flies, about 1/8th inch. They are usually black, but may be brown. The key identifying trait for this fly is the unique pattern of veins in its wings.* 

Drain Flies are also called moth flies, sewer flies or filter flies. Their bodies and wings are covered with numerous hairs. If crushed they leave a powdery smudge. The flies are commonly found around drains, but they should not be confused with the Fruit fly, Phorid fly, or Sphaerocierid fly which also infest drains.

If you see a small fly or gnat type insect flying around in the kitchen, do not assume it is coming from the drains. Check all possible breeding sources (small puddles, grease, rotting organic material, etc.) to help identify the fly. Using a sanitation drain product like Invade Bio Drain will help destroy the breeding area if they are breeding in the drains.

Understanding the different breeding sources for the flies will help you identify and manage the infestations.

Breeding Sources of Drain Flies, Fruit Flies, Phorid Flies and Sphaerocerid Flies
