Product Documents
Treating drain fly problems with ordinary drain cleaners, hot water, detergents, bleach, or ammonia is ineffective. The most effective solution is the use of a highly concentrated biological product with specially selected bacteria strains.
DrainGel's formulation incorporates specialized microorganisms in combination with biological support ingredients and essential growth factors. This unique formulation promotes improved performance in degradation of organic materials.
Drain Gel removes hard to reach organic matter from drains where drain flies breed. This specially formulated product is made to cling to the inside of drains and pipes so that it may continue working for several hours instead of just draining away like other products. Drain Gel will also get rid of rank odors from drains and improve flow in slow drains too. Drain Gel is safe for all types of plumbing and is non-toxic, non-pathogenic and non-caustic so you can use it with peace of mind.
PREPARATION: If drain is not regularly used, moisten drain by pouring 1-2 gallons of warm water into drain. For all applications, apply product at time of lowest drain use, ideally at end of day after the use of all cleaning and sanitation products has been completed.
START UP: Add four ounces to each drain in area. Apply around edge of drain, attempting to coat sides of drain. Repeat dosage daily as necessary, usually for 5-7 days.
FOR MAINTENANCE: Apply four ounces per drain every one to two weeks.

Great results!
By Carrie on January 13, 2007Had fruit flies for 5 months that I could NOT get rid of. I used Drain Gel once and overnight the flies were gone, just like that. The directions on the bottle say to use up to two weeks for best results, and I probably should have kept using it for safe measure, but one night worth of this stuff in all our drains took care of the problem. I haven't seen a single fly for 3 months.

It worked but
By Susan on September 13, 2008I ordered the Drain Gel and used it in all my drains for 5 days, just like the directions say to do. They were completely gone until about 4 weeks later, the moth flies were back. I would look for something that gets rid of them and keeps them away for longer than 1 month.

Drain-gel: Worked for me
By R on May 2, 2010Had drain fly problem in my apartment for several months. Used sticky strips (collected lots of flies), used bleach in drains (had no effect) covered all drains when not in use, still had flies (no idea how they got past the covers). In desperation, decided to try this stuff. Put about one cup down kitchen and bathroom drains for two nights. No more flies. It's been almost two weeks now, still no flies.

Drain gel works!!
By John on July 8, 2012We had a real problem with drain flies at our home in Arkansas. It is our vacation home and it was a real chore to deal with these pests each time we arrived. I found Drain Gel online and gave it a try. It worked like magic and all the flies are gone. It is a relief to have a product on hand if the problem starts up in the future.

Drain Gel
By Juan on November 1, 2011This product didn't work. It's true, I have fewer drain flies, but they are now much bigger. It's almost like this stuff gave them super strength.

Drain Gel
By Joretta on October 23, 2011
Verified Purchase
I used this product as instructed diligently but still had tons of gnats. I had nothing on my counter tops and cleaned everything each day with bleach. No food out at all. I really wanted this to work but was disappointed. Sorry

Got rid of drain flies
By RC on September 24, 2011We had drain flies that were overwhelming when we came home from vacation. 4 days of drain gel seems to have taken care of the problem--knock on wood. We didn't use the whole gallon so we're ready if they come back after another vacation. Definitely happy with this purchase

Good stuff!
By Claudia on September 9, 2011Drain Gel works if you follow the directions. It's easy to use but takes time with continuous doses over the week to 10 days. I would suggest purchasing twice the amount you think you need because it will be needed for the weekly doses at the end of treatment.

So far ok
By JB on June 29, 2011Seems product worked as stated. Our problem has been reduced tremendous. I found that you cannot skip any applications without a pest return. I treat every drain every three days. I gave it three stars because it does not eliminate the problem 100%, but does show a dramatic improvement

Drain Gel (American Bio)
By SS on May 5, 2011Based on all accessible info, this product appears to be better quality than most in that it has 5 strains of bacillus microorganisms and contains over 550 billion cells per gallon which are needed to reduce the bacteria laden bio film and digest the organic waste that is in our drains that flies feed and reproduce in. I do not know how this product compares with DF 5000 Drain Gel.

QDoes Drain Gel work in the toilet bowl?
I have drain flies hatching in the toilet bowl. Does Drain Gel work in the toilet bowl? I see the instructions call for coating the sides of the drain to eliminate buildups of grease, etc. How do you apply Drain Gel in the toilet bowl?
AYou will usually see drain flies developing in a toilet only if the toilet is not used very often. Drain Gel probably won't be the best product to use in your situation. You can turn the water off to the toilet and flush it so that the bowl and the tank are empty. Thoroughly scrub both, paying special attention to the area under the lip of the bowl and the tank. Scrubbing and cleaning these areas will help eliminate the decaying organic matter that these flies need to breed and develop in. While the toilet is drained you can apply Invade Hot Shot foam to the tank and the bowl and let it sit overnight to clean all of the cracks and crevices that you may not be able to clean properly. Invade Hot Shot would be a good choice because it will expand to cover all of the surfaces you need to treat. This may need to be repeated a few times before you get rid of all of the gunk that can build up over time. All drains in the infested room should be treated with either Invade Hot Shot or with Drain Gel.
