    Drain Fly kit

    By Kathy on 12/27/2010

    Verified Purchase

    The sticky paper showed us exactly where the problem was - not actually in the sink drain but where the drain pipe goes into the floor - never would have guessed. The spray kills instantly - great!  Don't know how much the green drain cleaner works as I am too big to fit down the sink drain.  All in all - a great product.  Thank you, Katy

    Drain Fly Kit

    Worked very well, but it took over two weeks to completely kill all of the flies.

    They Are Gone!

    By Barbara on 08/18/2012

    Verified Purchase

    Well, we bought the kit and found the flies were coming through the overflow in our bathroom sink. No amount of this stuff would get rid of them. :-( We were in the basement and noticed that our dehumidifier was not draining correctly and had filled up. We inspected the tube that went from the dehumidifier to the drain and found our organic matter and source of the flies. We got rid of that tube and coated the new tube with this orange stuff and we have been fly-free since. We are going to maintain that tube with this orange stuff from now on. Just be careful with the orange stuff as it does stain.

    No more flies

    By Tom on 08/25/2014

    Verified Purchase

    After about a year renting this house, we suddenly started to find dead flies in the master bath tub. Once in a while a few would make it beyond and die on the floor or vanity counter. Eventually it reached into the dozens upon dozens. We've never used the tub so the drain has been mostly stagnant for quite some time, only thing I've done is run some water to flush out a pail or to fill the pail for floor washing. The landlord asked me to get some quotes for pest services which were about $200 or so for a one pest treatment or about $60/2 mo for ongoing pest control. Not having any other issues here, I thought it was a bit much so I did some online research. Actually found the fly photo and description at the Orkin site. Then I found this site and seeing mostly positive reviews, I suggested the landlord let me give it a try. He initially just wanted me to try some bleach down the drain, but I was afraid of excessive corrosion if there were metal sections. So he gave me the ok to get this kit which is somewhat cheaper than just buying the two bottles and the aerosol. I didn't need the sticky paper - it was clearly obvious where they were coming from - I actually stoppered the drain and the number of dead found in the tub decreased significantly before the kit arrived. So I knew the source, I just could not see down the drain due to an attached stopper thingie. After getting the kit, I unscrewed the stopper to get better access. I ran some water and let it drain down - it was very slow, then I poured a dose of the drain cleaner stuff. I took the aerosol and sprayed a few shots into the drain and the overflow on the tub to be sure no adults were hiding out. Next day I flushed it a bit and saw the cleaner was starting to work already - I could see the pipe was plastic below the upper metal section and there was a big wad of hair and gunk stuck to the metal x-section that supports the stopper. I was able to pull out most the wad and toss it in the trash. I continued with 4-5 more treatments - each allowed to set for at least 24 hrs and followed by a brief water flush. The water ran much faster now, no more backups. Better - no more flies. It has been over a week now since finishing and no signs of any flies :)

    Finally a cure!

    By Ken on 09/15/2015

    Took a few days but the drain flies are 99 percent GONE!!!!! Thank you! And the spray lasts forever in case you have a stray fella fly through. I put the tip into the drain and spray for 2 seconds. Fills the line with the spray, killing them instantly. The gel stopped new infestation!

    Great Product

    By Anthony on 09/19/2014

    Verified Purchase

    I follow the direction on the instruction sheet and the drain flies were gone. It took about seven days to stop the flies. I am doing the treatment every other day at the moment. It took about two bottles for the first treatment. I think it would be a good idea to purchase at least four bottles the first time. I will apply my last two bottles every other day. Hopefully this will keep the flies away for good. If not, I will be back for more.

    Drain Fly Kit

    By Gr on 06/27/2012

    Verified Purchase

    I can't speak to the kit except that the spray was for a timed device which was not part of the kit. Plenty of sticky mats were sent. I gave it to tenants to use, so I can't speak to whether or not they used it as directed, but the online video is excellent. It arrived very quickly. I will order again if needed. The only reason for 4 stars instead of five is the spray.

    Drain Fly Kit - It works!

    By Lori on 11/01/2011

    Excellent results, but I did not use the spray or I probably didn't even need it.
