the flies are called drain flies, they are not really good fliers like fruit flies and gets easily crushed if attacked from behind. Drain flies usually will hang around their area of their food source and they dont usually venture too far. The frustration is enormous as these things don't seems to disappear after you have just swat like dozens of them only the day before. their reproduction rates and maturity to adults from Larvae are extremely fast. having drain flies does not imply your toilet is not well cleaned. it is simply an infestation that usually occurs in the sewer areas or the surroundings. my toilets are well up kept but sadly I was hit by such an infestation. the infestation been going on for a while, not knowing about the flies until I had enough and think the infestation is getting worse, decided to research and act, finally got rid of the problem. Things to do identify the likely source, these can be the main toilet drain hole, shower holes or even tile area.( My tile grout got corroded away) If you like to be more investigative, you can stick a piece of scotch tape covering part of the draining cover. See if any of these insects are sticking on itHow I do it I have the luxury of having storage water heater and mixer tap, before my shower i will turn to the max the shower hot water and flush the drain holes for a good 3-5 mins. The resultant effect is my entire bathroom is steamy Then u smack and smack the stragglers who managed to escape repeat for 3 days, u should see a population decreasing significantly repeat for a week and your infestation should clear upNow for those who dont have storage heater, i suggest thorough investigation be done to identify the infestation source, thereafter pour boiling hot water into these area. U need a lot of these hot water to flush the entire sewer drain, the pipe lining surfaces to ensure you cover these areas well.ensure the surrounding areas like covers, the crevices are flushed with boiling hot water. Do note these things will survive chemical attacks, things like bleaches, cleaning detergents and dettols are ineffective in killing them, the last things i want to use and have not tried are insecticides as I have newborns at home, this is not an option I would use. Drain flies are extremely dirty insects, as they thrive and live in the sewers, they will carry a lot of diseases as well, therefore get rid of these things and destroy their nesting places as soon as you can.

Never simply use $ as the deciding factor, more research required.

I reviewed reently my colleague's quote who enagage Hoe Bee, to me I find Patrick has indeed clever ways of splitting up a single mjaor job into many different sub-components, thereby maximising his gains. I know there are many HoeBee Fanatics who will probably refute what I say, but to me I also find his carpentership so-so only, nothing to brag abt, infact I give them only 2 out of 5 stars Unless U know your stuff well and know how things are done in the industry, very hard to argue with this guy, who will be "very nice" coz what U ask for he will agree...why? already factored into the cost already mah I don't know why pple here like kena his kong tao, keep saying he cheap and good, but to me after see his quote find them CMI, I don't know if my fren ask for further discount and other amendments, but I guess not much, the markup somewhat high sure park his margins somewhere What I advise is, go talk to the contractors more, eg. Those who do windows only, those who do wet works only, electricians, understand how they charge then when u go to main con u wun be kena conned. BTW to all the Hoe Bee fanatics, please dun flame me, coz I know the truth is sometimes to ugly and not nice to know.
