Fruit flies are some of the most annoying pests that often find a way into your home through your kitchen drains. Even though they seem harmless, they are not a good thing to have living in your house drains. They can consume everything and cover your whole kitchen with germs and bacteria.

Sewer flies or more commonly known as fruit flies like to stay near drains and plumbing fixtures, hiding there during the day time. Other times you can find them hovering around your sink drains or trying to make meal out of your leftover garbage bins or fruit sitting out.
