Drain flies.

I suspect we have drain flies, each day I’m seeing one or two tiny flies. They are usually spotted in the living room and fly right at me but I think that’s because that’s where we are most of the time, they are driving me bonkers. Brand new bathroom and pipe work so must be kitchen, I’ve done the bicarbonate and vinegar thing down the sink, boiling water, run cleaners through the dishwasher yet still getting them. It’s driving me mad, I can’t put one of the foaming drain cleaners in as it shares drain with dishwasher. I’m after advice on how to get rid of the bloody things! Help!

Fruit flies? Not always just around fruit. Pain at this time of year!
