[QUOTE="Kiyot, post: 1738524, member: 627"] Had that issue about 2 years ago, kind of a process to get rid of them, but the drains are their breeding grounds. Like others have said bleach the drains to kill the eggs. Just make sure atleast the first time you put down enough bleach to get all around the pipe, and do use any water in that sink for a bit so the bleach sits there. We made a ton of fly traps too, used water bottles and cut the top off and turned it upside down back into the bottle and filled it with a drop of dish soap and half water have cider. They are attracted to the cider and fly in and can't fly out and will drown. Very simple but very effective.
