Sewer flies are also called drain flies. To get rid of them you have to first clean the drain. Use a pipe brush to do this. Follow the cleaning by pouring some gel drain cleaner down the drain.

Eliminating moisture isn't always a fix. We commonly see that sewer flies come from empty P-Traps. This is a really common thing for us to see happen when a drain isn't often used. Try running water down the drain for 30 seconds to fill the p-trap.
