We have a serious problem in our master shower.
Drain flies.
So, so, so gross.
I'll give you the abbreviated version: This condo is only 3 1/2 years old. In other words, it's new. And, the bathrooms are cleaned once a week. We are not dirty. BUT, we apparently have a moisture issue in our windowless master bathroom. According to the evidence, and a half-hour chat with our local pest control man, "Our problem isn't really a problem...I've seen much, much worse."
Um...I disagree. It's a problem that tiny moths are coming out of my shower drain AND, that tiny moth larvae are making themselves known (and seen). Oh, it's a problem alright.
Anyway. Pest man told me to buy some fancy, dancy commercial grade enzyme cleaner. It will clean the "bio matter" that the larvae breed in. They are breeding in my very expensive shampoo/conditioner leftovers. Isn't that so perfectly ironic.
Are you dying right now? Yes, something is breeding in my shower. I'm dying too.
It gets better.
Once I clean the drain out, I have to DISassemble the hinged shower door and tracks to make sure I clean out the muck there too. The door tracks are where I noticed the larvae.
I have to do this myself. Who do I call to DISassemble a shower door? I don't know.
I'm sick.
I'm also really mad. Why is this happening to me? Why is this happening in my practically brand new home? I'll tell you why...because my home is basically a larger version of a project Lilly could do at preschool. Yes, it is. A $300,000 home made from Popsicle sticks and Modge- Podge. I'm not even kidding. I'm calling the home builder tomorrow and giving them a piece of my mind. It will make me feel better.
In other news, I did see John Mayer in concert this past weekend. What a hot mess he is, right? He is an amazing guitarist...I will give him that.

Jen that is gross! I don't think I would have the gumption to disassamble anything in my bathroom.
I saw John Mayer my freshman year in college up at Deer Valley. He is sort of a silly/strange performer, but I like his music.
Maybe you can find a random worker on Craig's List who can come & do this for you? I like that idea much better than you doing by your pretty little self. I watched our building's handyman disassemble our shower head + unclog the drain right when we moved in & I almost threw up. So sick.
Good luck.
I like John Mayer. He reminds me of summer & driving with the windows down. Even if his face really bugs when he sings.
it seems like a good pest man would like to be paid for a problem that "isn't really a problem." I would keep trying..
what about a couple of gallons of bleach down the drain in the meantime?
good luck! I would be dying too!
I love Heidi's comment - simple and to the point. It does sound gross, but since I am commenting from the top down I'm glad you found someone!
Can you post more about John Mayer though? After I read his interview in Rolling Stone I sort of gag thinking of him, but I bet one of his concerts would be good.
