Drain (Moth) Fly Prevention Tips
Sanitation and habitat elimination are the keys to managing this group of flies. Damp organic matter in and around drains, sinks, bathing areas, mop closets, washing machines, potted plants, and so forth needs to be cleaned up, since it serves as a breeding source for these flies.
