I have just moved into a home and have an infestation with drain flies. I called Orkin and they have told me they have been servicing the home for years for these pest and that they told the previous homeowners to call a plumber. So, I called a plumber and we found a busted pipe in the basement and this has been replaced but weeks later I feel like they have gotten worse! I don't know what to do.
I put enzyme cleaner down all the drains that cleans the slime off the pipes, we replaced the broken pipe... make sure the floor drain has water at all times.
The sump pump is located outside of the home. The drain flies are mainly in the laundry room/utility room. Is it possible for them to lay eggs in the cracks between the basement slab and wall?
Please HELP!! I just bought this home and have already spent A LOT of money trying to get rid of these drain flies.
