drain moth attack

September 29, 2012 By Tech Support Leave a Comment

Dear John,

I need to learn from you about the most aggressive strategy of getting rid of the drain moth invasion in my basement. The home is only 5 years old. I do not suspect any cracked pipes. However, we have an exhaust fan in the basement . Could that somehow draw the creatures from a nearby sewer well? Please, teach me about the technique and the ammunition I need to get from you! “Survivors” seems to work. Anything else? Accept my compliments on your website. Informative, interactive and dynamic! I hope your products are as good! Hope to hear from you! Thanks!

DRAIN MOTHS (aka: drain flies, sink flies, moth flies, etc.) can be a problem in the spring, summer and fall. As our article explains, they need a good place to reproduce in order for their numbers to reach levels that cause them to be noticed and eventually a problem. Sounds like that has happened in your home and that the problem appears to be focused in your basement. Now even though you mention using a fan; there is no way this could be attracting or pulling in the adults so rule this cause out. My guess is you have some ideal nesting locations that need to be addressed and once they’re located, the problem will be easy to control.

Our article explains what you’ll need to do; follow the link below to learn what’s involved and what treatments to get:
