Drain flies are actually a type of fly that resembles a moth and loves to linger around drains in your home (hence their name). They are normally drawn to standing water, which is why you’ll often come home to them lingering in your sinks, toilets, or bathtubs after a trip away when moisture has been left to sit.

Rats and mice are known for finding any nook or cranny they can to find shelter and food. Unfortunately for us, our homes are the number one place they search.

While bedbugs and fleas are known to bite humans, they produce different bite marks and symptoms. Knowing the difference will help you quickly identify what you’re dealing with and get the infestation under control.

One of the most common types of bugs to find in your home, the biscuit weevil is characterised by its brown colour and tiny 2-3 cm form with a rounded “humped” profile.
