🪰 Spotted These in Your Bathroom? Here’s What You Need to Know
If you’ve ever noticed tiny, fuzzy, moth-like insects resting on your bathroom walls or hovering around the sink, you are not alone.
These pests are commonly known as Drain Flies (or moth flies), and while they don’t bite, ignoring them is a mistake. Let’s break down why they appear and how to clear them out for good.
🔍 Why Do They Choose the Bathroom?
Drain flies (Psychodidae) are drawn to stagnant water, high humidity, and decomposing organic material.
The Breeding Ground: They don’t just hang out near drains; they lay their eggs in the slimy gelatinous film that builds up inside pipes, sewage lines, and under loose floor tiles.
Rapid Multipliers: A small issue can turn into a full-blown infestation quickly because their life cycle from egg to adult takes only a couple of weeks.
