RE: ECO-LENS CHALLENGE, Moth fly, Drainfly, Pakistan
As I mentioned in my post, this fly is mostly found in drain pipes or in places where there is sewage. So I also saw this fly in the same place in my house. That's when I took pictures of it and shared it with you. It is actually very small in size. About six millimeters, so you have to look carefully at it. Otherwise, it is usually not visible.
I already read it's easily taken for a fruit fly. I believe I would use the vacuum cleaner and indeed try to get rid of them. Your camera must be very good you could make such a clear shot.
Turns out they are not in most cases in the drains but also the bin and other places where it's humid or smells. They seem to like it where it stinks. I wonder what Mother Nature made them for.
A happy 2026

I also try to prevent mold from growing and prevent insects from growing. But somehow, some space remains and these insects grow. Thus, I got the opportunity to look closely at a small creature of nature.
mold is a different story and hard to fight especially if it rains a lot and the air is humid. I find it hard work and use bleach. I heard on the radio many people in the Netherlands suffer from in their houses and the house owners should fight it but in most cases they say: heat more and put the windows open, which isn't the solution. Mold is very bad for the health by te way.

It will certainly be a new experience for me to use bleach, as I have never used it to kill this creature. If it becomes widespread, I would like to continue it further.
It cleans and desinfects and I would not hestitate to use if for mold.
As it comes to your drains I would try vinegar first.
