What can I use to get rid of drain flies in my refrigerator's ice dispenser?

Every time I go to get ice a bunch of little drain flies fly out. The label on the hotspot says not to use on food contact surfaces unless able to clean with ammonia or steam clean. I would not be able to clean either as I can't fit anything up in the ice dispenser. Is there some other method such as baiting that I could utilize?

Answer:

We recommend flushing the lines with a cleaning solution that's safe for your ice dispenser, you should be able to find a list on the dispenser's guide or contact the manufacturer for more information as this is something that needs to be done often. We also recommend thoroughly cleaning the ice dispenser and using Invade Hot Spot on the tray to break down any organic matter. Be sure to also check for any leaks because this can also cause drain flies. Using a Flyweb Fly Light nearby can also be very helpful in gaining control of drain flies.
