Tiny brown moths in bathroom

silver17

I have been getting these small brown mini-moths (they just sat there and are a triangular shape like moths with wings in) in my bathroom for the last few days - it's been 1 a day for 4 days. I've no idea what they are or where they're coming from.

I thought drain flies were the annoying little round black things (I call them midges which is wrong but hey ho) but a quick google is saying this might be them but the pics don't really match?

Does anyone know what they are and how I get rid of them and prevent them coming back??

ALSO - I posted the other day about gas smell in bathroom - is there any chance this could be a sign it is definitely a drain issue? (Original post: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6530355/brief-gas-smell-in-shower)

If it is all a sewer gas issue and not a boiler issue with random bug problem, do I need to get a pro out?

Sounds just like drain flies (Psychodidae) although they look like moths they are a type of fly.

They could be carpet moths which are quite common, they are a nuisance causing damage to clothes and carpets etc.   They are supposed to not like Lavender but there will be information online

Could also be pantry moth.

That is a Silver Y moth and they are not tiny and don’t thrive very well inside, so best to release it outside.
