While many people think it’s a common insect that just happens to pop up, the sewer fly, also known as a shower fly or drain fly, is often a sign of a problem in the house’s plumbing system. Due to his small size and slow flight, he does not stand out at first, but when he regularly appears in the bathroom or at the sink, he can become a constant source of annoyance.
This curious insect likes to nest in places with a lot of moisture, organic waste and poor ventilation. Therefore, the bathroom is one of his favorite places. Although it does not pose a serious health risk in most cases, its presence may indicate problems with cleaning or maintenance that need to be addressed as soon as possible.
The rainfly has a very distinctive appearance. It is generally small, grey or dark brown and has wings similar to that of a small moth. Unlike other flies, it usually does not fly long distances. It usually stays near drains, damp walls, grids or places where condensation occurs.
Many people notice small insects first on the bathroom walls or at the sink. Others smell an unpleasant smell from the pipes and soon after discover the presence of these mosquitoes. In some homes, the water can also run away longer, which can further strengthen their presence.
