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.
This works.
By Db in Chicago on 06/29/2010
We've had a residential drain fly problem off and on for a year. We tried numerous things only to have the drain flies return days later. So we were skeptical about DF 5000. But we bought DF 5000 and …

Great stuff - it works
By John in Randolph, MA on 07/27/2010
This product has worked as advertised. My drain flies have all disappeared.
Works
By Rwagner66 in Palm Coast, FL on 02/12/2012
In two days, 90% of flies were gone. Thereafter, I treated drains every other day, because it takes the little buggers at least two days to produce new adults. They were gone after two weeks. Hint: do…

Good Stuff
By Alexia in Los Angeles, CA on 06/16/2010

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.

Excellent instructional video. This is a great product.

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…

Thank you for your comments! We are glad that you have had success with your treatment. If you would like an alternative product that comes in a larger size, InVade Bio Drain is very similar to DF5000, and it is available in a gallon size: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/invade-bio-drain-p-352.html

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.

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
