This paper is dedicated to moth flies, a new medical disinsection object in our country. These insects are common in urban areas, generally in the premises with poor sanitary conditions. Moth fly larvae may cause accidental human urinary miasmata; imagoes, if many, become a worrisome factor; a source of allergy, and potential mechanical vectors of human diseases. In this connection, it is necessary to implement measures to control the number of the moth flies when the latter are detected on the objects particularly in therapeutic and preventive facilities and public catering esablishments.
