Drain flies, or moth flies, are small insects from the Psychodidae family that usually inhabit damp areas like kitchen and bathroom drains. They are fuzzy and grayish, with wings that resemble a moth's. Unlike fruit flies, they breed in organic matter found in drains, leading to potential sanitary issues. Females can lay around 200 eggs in these environments, resulting in larvae that develop into adult flies within 8 to 24 days. Their presence can be irritating and may worsen allergic reactions.
