4.1 out of 5 stars
Didn't help a bit
By Ken in Pensacola Florida on 05/02/2010
It almost seemed like we had a small baby boom of flys after we used the product in our one sink kitchen. I threw twenty bucks down the drain at a time when I couldn't afford it :( sad panda
Expert response:
This customer probably did not have drain flies. This product rarely does not work, if they are coming from the drain. Other flies can be in a house that are the same size as drain flies. They could be fruit flies or they could be fungus gnats, which breed from potted plants. We always recommend performing a test using <a href="https://www.domyown.com/trapper-ltd-mouseinsect-glue-boards-p-134.html">glue boards</a> over all of the drains in the room before treating. If you get flies caught on the glue board you leave over the drain at night, then you KNOW it is drain flies and you know what drain to treat. If you still have flies in the house but you are not catching any on the glue boards, then it is fruit flies or fungus gnats.

Doesn't work
By Mark in arlington on 07/28/2012
We used this product for 10 days and the larvae kept coming. Don't waste the money. Bleach works better but still doesn't eliminate the drain flies.

DF 5000 Drain Fly Gel - Pouring your money down the drain
By Grace in Det. MI on 11/27/2012
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!!!
Still have drain flies!
By Mary in Naples, FL on 11/27/2012

Don't be discouraged! Due to the breeding habits of drain flies it can take a few rounds of treatments to get rid of them for good. Please take a few moments to read our drain fly guide to learn how to implement a successful control program: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/how-to-get-rid-of-drain-flies-a-517.html

I reviewed DF5000 on my drains to rid my home of drain flies. I used almost 3 expensive bottles which did absolutely nothing to resolve the problem. I would not buy it again.
