How to get rid of bathroom flies??
I am "plagued" by little black flies in my bathroom... They seem to come from the shower drain. I have sprayed insecticide into the drain constantly but they still come back. Anybody got any ideas on how to get rid of them permanently?

Those flies are called drain flies as they are typically found in drains. They start breeding once they hatched from the eggs so the only way to exterminate them is to find their breeding place and 'fix' it. They are attracted by light and usually lay their eggs along the drainage pipes in shower area.
I used to hv the same problem. My kids were so scared of those flies. They r small black worm before turning into the fly. I use toilet cleaner n they won't die. Then I just pour hot boiling water on the worm everyday, usually they live near the drainage n shower area. Now no more flies n I still pour hot water every now n then to prevent it from coming back. Maybe u can try using hot water also. Look for the place where the worm live.
I noticed that it's very easy to kill the fly but not the worm. For the fly u just hv to spray it with water n they will die already. But I use the bleach, toilet cleaner before n the worm still crawling. And only hot water will kill it. But must be boiling hot. Tried use hot water from the flask before n not all will die.
