There is truly a video for every disgusting situation out there. Thanks for this video!

I knew flies come up through the pipes. When i told others they called me crazy lol. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing. This was exactly my problem. I didn't know where they were coming from or how to get rid of them. I did exactly what you showed on this video. PROBLEM SOLVED!!!👍👍👍

your sound effects are so accurate to how anyone would feel doing this. lol

I give a 100 for realism. The gagging reminds me of what I’m gunna be doing when I’m cleaning the drains in my new home 👌🏽

2:17 "and you saw how bald I am, so its probably not my hair" 😂😂😂 Came here looking for a fix to these damn flies, got grossed out and had a good laugh along the way too. Thanks for the video my man!

The sounds you made while being purely disgusted was pretty hilarious ngl thanks for the informative video. Did not think shower flies could get this bad omg.

Such a gracious channel host. The same questions keep coming across and you answer them all. Enjoyed your video. I will be trying a plastic drain snake and then the baking soda, salt and vinegar soak, rinsing it down with the boiling water in the morning. The little mites I keep seeing around the kitchen drain have overstayed their welcome. Thanks for this. I'll be checking out your other videos as the need arises. :)

Years ago, my dad came up with the idea of straightening out a wire hanger, then bending one end of it into a hook small enough to fit in drain yet large enough to grasp whatever's in there. Cut to the length that suits your need. For a bathroom sink, you'll need to remove the stopper if it has a crosswise lever from the drain pipe that goes through it.

Draino is great for the slow or clogged drain, but pouring a cup of baking soda followed by two cups of vinegar will kill the sewer flys & their eggs.

Thank you for this! I had no idea it was the drain, I thought it was a plant! Excited to finally fix the problem!!!

Sewer Flies is always what I called them. Amazing creatures. Clorox works too - for a while. You need re-application when they reappear. Remember, there is a plumbing trap in the line.

Instead of the Drano, after I clean the drain out, I use boiling water and add dawn liquid soap, and vinegar. That we are not putting all those chemicals into our water supply. The vinegar and water really does flush and clean well.

Every time I’m doing my business, I’m hearing buzzing, so this was enlightening lol and looks like I’m not hearing things.

Today I discovered there's flys in drains, learn something new every day

“Or maybe that is mine and that’s why I’m bald” 🤣🤣🤣 love it 👏

I’ve been spraying them with water back into the drain the whole time haha

I've had that issue in 2 brand new apartments. The builders had dumped all kinds of crap down the drain and you would be surprised what I found. There was plastic bags of screws, nails, carpet, concrete, rubble, silicone, grout, sand, nails, tiles, so over time using the shower it got so bad , the flies, the smell. Omggg. Any way, what you did wasn't good enough. You have to flush and flush with boiling water up high and flush and scrub. Use dish washing liquid and then use buckets of hot water held high and tip it down the drain until the water runs clear. You don't need draino. Just remove the debris. Get a garbage bag, put it around your arm and grab the crap out with your hand and arm. Yes it's gross, but it works. I had a plumber come the next day and say, omg wow I've never seen a drain so clean in all my life.lol so the blockage I called them about, was unblocked by me, the plumber didn't have to do a single thing lol. He was the one who told me not to waste my money on draino. He Said I did the right thing by using dish washung liquid as it's best to break up the gunk. Try it and I swear you won't have a single drain fly ever again. Just clean your drains often.

thank you so much I have been getting these flies at my kitchen sink and my bathroom sink, and its so annoying once I turn on the shower flies stop flying everywhere and im only 12 ill tell my mom about this because we don't know how to get rid of them until now your a life saver thank you so much!!!

One would think that dirty drains are the only thing that leads to drain flies but 6 months ago I replaced all of my drainwork throughout the house and back to the sewer tap. not one scrap of old pipe remained (including the stacks), but within 3 days of the completion of these measures the drain flies began appearing for the first time ever!! That's right, No drain flies in the disgusting 80-year-old pipes! Apparently the flies prefer mostly clean pipes with just a hint of junk. The way I tackle the problem is to pour a little white vinegar into every drain, every night -- including the floor drains. It is not a complete cure but I see only 1 or 2 flies a week now as opposed to 100 per day. The vinegar raises the acidity of the water in the traps, making it near impossible for flies to get a foothold.

I’ve used a coat hanger by pulling it apart and put it down the drain and hooked hair on it

Thank you. These little flies seem to appear in the warm weather, which we have now. I will clean and treat. Usually cleaning and putting Clorox bleach down seems to help. I will do your procedure tomorrow night. I seem to have a worse problem in the sink.

Many thanks extremely helpful. Will share content with my good friends.

now i finally know where those little bastards are coming from, thanks!

Let me tell you, I get so creeped out by showers with any discoloration or dirt in the crevices. Oh, it makes me sick. I currently have a shower like this( which I plan to schedule a remodeling within a few weeks). I won't step a foot in it until it's spic and span, so I travel all the way upstairs to shower instead, lol. However, before remodeling, it is my goal to solve the drain fly issues. It was hard watching this video because of the shower and drain gunk. Nonetheless, your video was very helpful, I gave you a big fat thumbs up👍🏽. I'll be sharing this with my husband.

Thanks for the video sir very helpful. I have having a similar issue but not flies they are springtails. Little tiny hopping bugs.

I used to be a janitor for a school we used to get drain flies in the floor drains in the bathroom easiest way to deal with that problem is every night when nothing is going to be used like before you go to bed poor a half a cup of bleach down into the trap a couple of days of that and you won't see anything anymore and once a month or so in bathrooms that don't get any use like say you have a downstairs shower or sink that no one really ever uses make sure you go in there once a month once every couple of weeks and run some water so your traps don't dry out

I use liquid plmur once a month as maintaince, seems to keep the drains clear, surprised you didn't have slow drainage problems, was told it was costly to do every month but cheaper then calling a plumber😊

Thanks for the video. I loved the sound effects! 🤣

Thank you for this . We have lived in our home for about 11 months and to be honest we have two bathrooms but we only use the shower in the 2nd bath . We go to the actual bathroom in each. But since we have lived here we never actually shower or bath in the other bathroom and lately I have been seeing this moth looking things but they are tiny . It’s not like yours there isn’t a bunch but just here and there I see them in that bathroom. Apparently they are called drain flies . Now I know what to do to get rid of them . I’m guessing the people that lived here before us must have had a lot of hair or something ? Either way , I’m gonna clean that drain and gonna start having the kids shower in there so it’s not just an unused room

Great video and well done I noticed that you put the glove on the hand that didn’t really touch anything nasty but the hand you used to get the stuff out was gloveless LOL thanks for sharing

I’ve had this problem and found an even simpler solution. Pour boiling water down the drain, slowly. It’s important to do it slowly so that the water trickles down rather than rushes through. I did this two years ago and haven’t seen another one since. Sometimes, as I understand, the solution may depend on where you live and how suitable the overall environment is for these bugs, but where I live the boiling water worked great!

Those things are disgusting! 😱 LOL Thank you for the video. They spend quality time in your john also and wind up on your ham sandwich. 🥶 It's essential to cover all of the drains after you treat them. That way they'll stay in there until you get rid of them. There are rubber drain covers, (or plugs) of all sizes. Find one that will fit over it about a 1/2 inch extra. Put a weight on top to trap them. Also, good old generic liquid bleach will dissolve all hair. I would pour about a half-gallon down there and then cover it and leave it alone for two hours. I did that and they are gone.

I had this problem last year, cleaned drain best I could. Followed with baking soda and vinegar . Rinsed with Boiling Water. Even made homemade drain fly traps(Dawn & ACV) Kept under control... Last Year! As soon as temperature warmed up THIS year - Bam stupid flies are back! But this year I will be using the pipe snake Woo hoo. Thanks for the tip 😁

For about $3 at Lowe's or Home Depot, etc., you can buy a plastic 'drain snake'. It's about a foot long and has numerous barbs. You fish it down the drain and the barbs snag those hair balls as you pull it out.

Okay now I see my problem! I’ve lost a ton of hair the last couple of years due to chemo so it’s all my fault. Thanks for this video!

I actually needed this vid and you’re Super funny ahahahah love this

Shower traps need cleaning every time you use them😇so worth the effort!

Excellent!!! It was the hot water for me. 🙏🏽hopefully flies are gone.

Thank you🙏🏾 very much. It's annoying ASF!

I had pest control come out because I swear I was panicking because I didn’t know what they were... now I know what I could do when I don’t want techs out here... oh yea your sound effects are hilarious 🤣

Do fungus gnats (the ones that are attracted to plants) ever go to the bathroom/tub? What I'm seeing in my case don't look like actual drain flies.

I wouldn’t use Draino or any harsh chemical. I did that and it ate a hole through my metal pipes. Cost me more than $1700 for a plumber to tear the walls open and replace them. Just use boiling water, dish soap and vinegar.

Thanks... I was always thinking why & how are they coming? Don't know how to get rid of them.

Thank you, this was so informative. What if you have these small tiny drain flies (gnats) accompanied by an inconsistent odor (maybe sewer gas smell)? Would the same course of action be taken? Could it be a venting issue?

GOOOO KNIGHTS!!! Thanks for tips man!!! From Vegas! 👍

Hate it we have new construction home we been here 2 yrs n them mosquitos keep coming n i clean the tile shower n keep coming from the drain n the sucky part they died n get stuck on the ceiling wall

Hello sir, may know I what specific material/liquid that you poured on your drainage pipe

I used the boiling water method and it created a 5-6ft long crack in my pipe so I needed to replace it. Was hoping for another solution.

Will this work with a regular tub drain as well? You know like a tub / shower combo?

Yours was the first KZfaq video that came up when I typed 'what are those little flies in the wash basin' into my trusty Webcrawler video search! It's been a bit of a mystery rather than an annoyance, per se, so it was more out of curiosity that I ended up here. I might put some of what I saw in the video into action, although, as my query perhaps implies, mine are in the wash basin rather than the shower. One thing that occurred to me is that, if the shower head were an adjustable one, you might have done something like turning it to the narrow power spray setting to direct it down the drain and turning the temperature right up to give the drain an even more thorough washing out. I've tried that sometimes while cleaning the shower.

Well, just experienced this for the first time, so pleased to know this is a thing. When I first noticed them, I was surprised how quickly they moved considering their size. I know my sink is probably partially blocked, so not too shocked. Time to get that U-bend off. Eww.

amazing video . thanks mate

Thank you so much for making this video!!!!

you are awesome dude hope you have a good life

Baking soda and vinegar and then Pour boiling water??

I don't know what we have, either fruit flies or drain flies, gnats.We live in an apartment that has a garbage disposal. I poured bleach down the drain and put the sink covers on. Seemed to help but a week later theyre back. Oh I now have the cider vinegar and dish detergent trying out tonight.But I went to have some cereal and it looks like tiny ants or ?? Bugs.Pest Control help!! Property is slow to respond to any maintenance

I use my garden hose twice a year. Once before we put the hose away for the winter and then again when we take it out in the spring. Works well for us. Just make sure you use a towel or something to cover your hand and the hose before you put the hose in the drain so you don’t get sprayed. Then blast away!

Baking soda then vinegar to clean the gunk. I've done it twice or three times to make sure that stuff is removed- all drains.

I know y’all are gonna make fun of me, but I’m literally afraid of them. Like, if I see one, I will literally panic and cry. :/

I’m a Dallas Stars fan but also really like the Vegas Knights cool shirt!

Thank you for posting.

this is so helpful! thanks!

Hey man will this work with a bleach toilet bowl cleaner from great value as opposed to a regular drain cleaner?

Thankyou for sharing! Add baking soda and vinegar? Salt? Im literally trying everything. I've got some new plants and scared they could get infested.

how about using baking soda and vinegar liquid? is that also effective

What is the best brand of drain oh ? I have a major problem rightnow with these guys I try and turn on the shower head so they stop coming up but it’s a problem now.

Wow thanks for sharing man. I have the same problems but its worse, the Drain Worms are coming out between the floor tiles because of the tiny gaps in my shower. Do you have any idea how to get rid of that?

My plumber told us never to use draino, liquid plumber or any other harsh chemical down drains. They will eventually ruin any pipe system and will cost $$$$$ to replace. Used liquid plumber for a few years every time we had a clog and it ate through the sewer line and it all had to be replaced. Good Bye vacation. He used a camera to look at our other lines in which we never used a chemical for example the bathroom and that line was just fine. Lesson learned.

What's that drain gel/cleaner you are using?

Vinegar is amazing✊🏿

Whats name cemecal tell me

Thanks for sharing!

It's hilarious how disgusted he is by it lmao I laugh so hard every time he says ughhhh 🤣🤣🤣 then the you see I'm bald it's not my hair or maybe that's why I'm bald took me out! 😂😂😂

I periodically dump a big pot of boiling water down the shower drain. Has kept it clear for years and that's all I do.

I can’t get my plugs off by hand as they are pop up ones can I do it just by using boiling hot water ?

What's the name of that tool? I've never seen a small snake like that

I would not recommend pouring boiling water into PVC plumbing. Use vinegar and baking soda, brush thoroughly with proper sized pipe and drain brush, then flush with hot water.

What liquid did u pour in? Whats in that small jerry can?

The first one is fish tape for pulling wire, not a drain cleaner. the second one is the correct tool.

When you popped that drain cover... I knew.

Thank you.

We have septic flies in a shower that we never use but I run the water 1x a week so the traps don't dry. There could be no buildup because it was a new house and unused. It happens 1x a year. We are on a septic. Any thoughts?

VGK!! Thanks for the info

Thank you 🙏🏾

I’m so tired of these things. I kill a bunch of them with fabulouso in the corners of my shower and then more show up. I can’t wait to view your video.

Your video made my skin crawl (The wallpaper should have been a forewarning) but I guess that's a good thing. Thanks?

Thanks this helped a lot also go knights

Thank you having same problem

Thanks bro they're bad in my basement shower!!

I built my house in 1988. At that time I knew I did not want drain problems. I took out tub pop up drain cap and put in caps with holes I bought at depot. I then took some of those copper scrubbing pads and cut them up. Put the copper strips in to cups and sat the decorative original cap on top. After about 2 showers I replace the strips which are covered in hair. Would not work on the drain in video. Did sinks the same way but wife did not like the look so I went back to stock on sinks. Of course they will stop up and my plumber gave me these strips that you slide in along the side of pop up.(remove nothing) Amazed how much hair they catch. Tell wife, now we are old and losing hair, so stand away from sink when combing hair. What gets on floor can be removed with large lent rollers from Walmart. I just started having the fly issue. Have been talking about it and sure a device in my home is listening to us and that is why this video popped up.🦇

Well, I guess I have some drains to clean. I hate these little, nasty bastards, just like regular house flies. I especially hate when they make it out into the house, and suddenly you see it sitting on your sofa or computer screen! I went to flush a rarely used toilet today, and one started buzzing around me, so flush that water often so as not to dry the traps out.

Good video.However,Drano can corrode stainless steel pipes.White vinegar or boiling water.

Thanks for sharing.

Very good info thx buddy

Put some beer and dish soap and a small container with small holes at the top. Works like a charm to catch gnats

Doesn't Drain-o ruin pipes?

Forget the gnats, the wall paper is killing me!

Lol funny how grossed out he is & how he's using the non gloved hand to dig out the nasty stuff & holding the bag with the gloved one. Lol

Our drain flies are coming out of a crack in some grout near our bathtub. 😩 how do you fix that 😭😭😭😭
