I've had what I think are drain flies for several weeks now; tiny little things a bit like midges. They seem to be coming up through the bath (there are a few dead ones in the bathtub). But I've never seen any coming out of any other drains in the house. But, they all seem to go to my downstairs window, I killed about 15 of them yesterday that were around the window.
I've dumped a load of bicarb and vinegar down every drain, but it hasn't worked. If anything, there are more of them now. I inspected the drain outlet outside (looks like 3 x 4" pipes, I assume one for bathroom, one for toilet, one for kitchen sink?)
I've ordered a pressure washer attachment with a backward facing spray head.
Any other ideas? Could they be coming from anywhere else, or could they in fact be a different type of fly? I don't know how so many are coming through the bathtub upstairs yet congregating downstairs in the kitchen and lounge?
