Customer Reviews for DF 5000 Drain Gel

After a total renovation of my lake house I had a nasty drain fly infestation. DF 5000 did the trick in getting rid of them. I did not believe it was in my plumbing because it was all brand new. I put DF 5000 in the drains and noticed an effect imediately. Took awhile to get them all, but it works.

My review right now is a mixed set of emotions. I think it works, but I also have fruit flys and fungus gnats along with these drain flies. Fungus gnats live in the dirt of our house plants. I have treated all of our drains in the house. I bought a 4 pack of this DF 5000 drain fly gel. The only place I am having a "fly" issue now, is my kitchen where I also have the other flys.

I thought this worked a little in the beginning. I was wrong. Don't waste your money!!! Pour bleach down the drain every day for at least 2 weeks. It is more effective and a whole lot cheaper!!!

Used the product as directed, but unfortunately it did not eliminate the flies from my bathtub drain. I'm not sure if another bottle would be effective as the five applications didn't even appear to slow down their life cycle.

Took care of the bathroom drain with the drain flies. Water flows freely and no more intruders. Didn't work on the bathtub but I didn't snake it first. I guess I'll have to buy something else for the tub. It's just clogged- no drain flies.

We ordered the DF5000 and it was delivered in three days. We used it for 4 days and the drain fly/worm problem was solved. This product was quite favorably discussed on various blogs and chat rooms. It was great to know that our problem wasn't that unique and that a good remedy was available. Bravo!

Drain Fly gel works great and it is easy to use. The bottle is well marked with the correct amount for each drain and it pour easily. Our drain fly problem is gone! I like the option of getting a better price on quantity and I purchased a second case for monthly follow-up.

I was disappointed in the resuts achieved by the use of the DF 5000 Drain Fly Gel. I treated two sink drains (kitchen and bathroom) per directions for 8 straight days. Applying before retiring to allow maximum treatment time. After four days of treatment the number of flies increased. At the end of the eight days the number decreased to single digits but did not get rid of the flies. It is disappointing that the use of DF 5000 did not eliminate the problem.

For drain flies, DF5000 quickly does the job. Drain fly problem drastically decreases within 2 applications. Look no further. Other products have discolored my sink. This one does not.

It works really well on those little black flies that come out of the floor drain.

I bought this item because I was seeing, on a daily basis, tiny bugs in my bathtub which I assumed were coming up from the drain. They were diagnosed by an exterminator as baby waterbugs (not flies)'but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. I followed the directions and continued to see the bugs after four applications, but it's been several days now without a sighting, so I am hopeful this product was successful. Time will tell, but I plan to continue monthly appplications per the directions.

Though I used as directed, I'm still overrun with these darn bugs. This stuff didn't help much at all. It wasn't cheap, either.

We had been plagued with drain flies for weeks. We had tried everything (bleach, traps, etc) to no avail. A pest control expert referred us to DF5000 and we bought it and put it down the drains as prescribed. Within that time, the flies were gone! This stuff works!

I had a real bad problem with drain flies. Each morning there were over 100 at least in the bathtub. I applied to mineral oil around the drain hole to catch the little varmits. It has taken 2 bottles of df5000 and as of yesterday there were no drain flies. I'm gong to buy one more bottle though just to make sure they are gone.
