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.

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!!!

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.

By Denise in Glenn Dale, Maryland on 06/01/2016
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.

At first I thought I had beat my problem with fruit flies or drain flies. I have followed all directions on the video on line. But after $80 my problem is worse.
Pest control
By Joy in Crescent, Pa on 03/21/2016
It doesn't seem to be working . I have used 2 bottles of this. Any other ideas?
Expert response:
Drain Gel will help break down the debris that drain flies breed in, but it does not kill the flies themselves. Please take a few moments to review 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
DF Drain Gel
By Robin in Long Island, NY on 10/20/2017
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.

Thank you for your review. We apologize you did not receive the expected results. We would like to take some time out to help troubleshoot with you.

DF 5000
By Don in Monroe, la on 04/12/2010
I used it for about a week. It worked OK, but it still did not get rid of all the drain flies. I guess you have to buy a whole case for it to be effective.
It had potential
By Jared in Indiana on 07/11/2010
These bugs are relentless. After the initial five days, we thought they were gone, but days later they came back with a vengeance. We're going to try to detach the pipes and scrub before starting the …

Worked like a charm
By Liz in Richmond, VA on 08/23/2010
This product worked like a charm. The trick is finding the right drain or source of the flies. We were about to spend thousands of dollars to rip out plumbing and try to find the source of these pests…
