Breeding grounds can be identified in drains, septic tanks, sewers and soil that has been contaminated with sewage. Slimy layers and standing liquid in sewer components provide fungi, bacteria, algae, and other microorganisms for larvae to feed on.

These flies can reproduce in 48 hours, causing quick developing infestation!
