“Dear PoPville,
For the first time in my 18 years of homeownership life I am dealing with drain flies! I am losing my head because I have addressed all the possible contamination sources but I feel that the problem has now escalated to where I need a professional.
My problem is in the basement and knowing that many people in this area have bathroom basements I am wondering if someone has used a professional to deal with the problem. I’ve done everything I’ve read online and I’m pulling my hair because nothing I do seems to help or improve the situation. I have guests arriving in 2 weeks and my basement is supposed to house some of my guests! HELP!!!!”
