Wikipedia is not a housewife book - I love my drainflies, they are harmless and have learned to live in the shithole 100 times longer than humans and will so - please delete the drain fly control section, which is an ecologic hazard anyway.
While wikipedia is not a repository for instructions I feel one of the main draws to this page is information on removing these pests. As such the section on control should be removed and instead a link to an appropriate website with the same instructions should be provided. Darkwraith ( talk) 16:53, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Some of us do not want to live with these pests. I found this website to be helpful in removing the organic matter from our drains (their main food supply) and keeping our home free of them. Instead of using the drain cleaner, we used one of the bio-friendly mixes of baking soda, salt, and vinegar. If you do not keep up with cleaning your drains for up to 3 weeks, they will come back again. http://pests.getridofthings.com/get-rid-of-drain-flies.htm -- Sing2himprayz ( talk) 21:32, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
IMHO, there should be separate articles about Psychodidae family and Clogmia albipunctata species, not mixed up as it currently is. -- Djadjko ( talk) 21:46, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Drain fly → Psychodidae – The most commonly used name for the family is Psychodidae, with a myriad of vernacular names for the subfamilies and genera. Only certain taxa are called drain flies Kev min § 18:12, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
