dominues

Dominues refers to a family of insects within the order Diptera. These flies are commonly known as moth flies or drain flies due to their appearance and habitat. They are small, typically measuring a few millimeters in length, and are characterized by their fuzzy, moth-like appearance and broad, hairy wings. Their bodies are often dark in color, and their antennae are relatively long and slender.

The life cycle of dominues involves egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages. The larvae are aquatic or semi-aquatic and are often found in moist, organic-rich environments. This includes drains, septic tanks, sewage treatment plants, and other areas where decaying organic matter accumulates. The adult flies emerge from these breeding sites.

While dominues are generally considered nuisance pests rather than disease vectors, their presence can indicate unsanitary conditions. Homeowners and building managers may encounter them around sinks, toilets, and other plumbing fixtures. Their fuzzy bodies can also contribute to allergies in some individuals. Control methods typically focus on eliminating their breeding grounds by cleaning and removing organic debris from drains and other potential sources of moisture.
