Gray, about 6–7 mm, with four dark stripes on the thorax and large red eyes. Drain flies are smaller, fuzzy and moth-like.
Garbage, pet waste, compost, dumpsters, and the organic film inside drains. Breeding is fast in Florida's heat.
- Flies clustering at windows and trash
- Dark specks (fly spots) on walls and fixtures
- Small moth-like flies around sinks and floor drains
Filth flies pick up bacteria from garbage and waste and transfer it to food and surfaces, spreading foodborne illness. Drain flies signal organic buildup in pipes.
Rhino identifies and treats the breeding source — the only lasting fix — plus interior and exterior knockdown. Indoor fly control service is included in the Gold plan.
