Flies can carry and transmit bateria and germs and this is why it is important to eliminate them.
But how can we get rid of Psychodinae from our drains? First of all, if you are not certain they are present, you could stick some adhesive tape over and around the drain hole(s) before going to bed and check to see if any flies have been trapped in the morning.
Once you are sure the flies are present, proceed as follows: get some baking soda, white vinegar and boiling water, and pour these natural ingredients down the drain. The "toxicity" of this mixture will eliminate all the flies for good.
We recommend that you repeat this operation a few times a day, for a day or two, to ensure that the flies are all killed off for good. But obviously, in the event of a serious infestation, do not hesitate to contact the professionals.
