Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsEewwww! I saw a creepy-crawlie in my kitchen sink yesterday! It was very small and black
and it was wiggling so I washed it down the drain. Today I did a search* and found out that there
are flies, mosquitoes and moths that will lay eggs in our pipes, typically in water collected in the p-trap.
And what I saw was one of the hatched larva. We can keep our pipes cleaned out with drain cleaner or bleach, just let it sit for awhile (30 minutes) so I used drain cleaner and I'll keep an eye out for these things now, you betcha!
