DON’T MISS
Baking soda is one of the most effective solutions to get rid of drain flies.
Simply pour half a cup of salt, half a cup of baking soda, and one cup of vinegar down the drain.
The vinegar will react with the baking soda, causing it to fizz, and the reaction is what will kill the larvae.
Leave the mixture overnight, then flush in the morning with hot water.
