    Drain Flies
    We moved into this house almost 1 yr ago. At first I didn't notice the flies. We have a shower stall in our bathroom that is in our room. We noticed a leak and stopped using it.

    Our sump pump is in the basement next to our washer. It smelled pretty bad, and this is where we are noticing the flies. We cleaned out the sump pump and poured something that I had gotten from Rex Bac T. the smell isn't as bad and I'm not noticing as many flies but they are still around. We also have something around the bottom of the walls of the basement in case it ever floods.. im noticing the flies right around the sump pump and the bottom of the walls as if they are coming from there.. im hoping to god that we don't have a broken pipe under the house as we haven't even been here a year yet.. any suggestions? These flies are grossing me out! Thanks! Kelly

    Make sure what pest is. F/ drain flies, remove cvr, clean gunk f/ collar & lid w/ strong cleaner (409, clorox cleanup) maybe brush into drain. Do same along btm wall. Treat w/residual pesticide.
