Can this be used in drains to get rid of drain flies?

No! I don't think this will help your problem. This is used by flushing it past the trap and into the pipes to work on the build up inside the pipe. Drain flies will normally only be in the pipe before the trap. So if you would just clean all the hair and junk that accumulates just inside the pipe, it would help. This is where the flies lay there eggs and hang out. You can use a drain cleaner such as liquid plumber or pour some bleach just into the trap and it should take care of your problem.

I use it out doors but I would assume it would work in-door. I would kill any bug that touches it. You just need to get the flies there.

Yes, it worked perfectly for us with that problem. Just follow the directions. Very easy! Takes about 2 weeks for existing flies to die, and no new ones come back if you follow directions.

It's designed to pull hair and such out of a small sink drain. It would NOT work on a toilet stoppage. A plumbers friend is still your best bet.

Our plumber told us about this product because of its use in toilets. So, yes. Let it sit for a while and do its job. Works great on drains, too!

It wont get rid of them for good but it will eliminate a large amount of them. I caught a few hundred flies in the last trap I used.

I continue to re-fill with water until the dead flies pile up to the water line. In reality, it would probably be a good idea to replace them a little sooner. But, the above works pretty well.

I don't think it will work on toilets. If you could get it into a sewer pipe it might clear a small clog. In my experience a sewer line calls for Roto Rotor or something with a powerful snake. The thing really worked on kitchen drain but I had access to the main pipe.

Yes I believe you can - but turely its an outdoor product.The flies indoor shall be limited and can be countered via insecticide. For indoor this may have an odour but keeping it away from seating area may resolve it

I think so - I plan on throwing the whole mess in a plastic shopping bag, tying it in a double knot and then disposing of it and good riddance. The whole thing stinks to high heaven and I haven't seen an appreciable decrease in flies around here...call it the end of a disgusting experiment. Onward.

Well, no...to use this correctly, the drain must be flowing a little at least; and you must run hot water to dissolve this product. This works the best on kitchen grease problems. For a toilet, it's best to use a hand auger or plunger;or, to call a professional to pull the toilet and use a snake.

I'm just a customer who bought this. In my opinion you should be able to use apple cider vinegar to kill the flies. My fly trap status worth 30 flies in it at all times.

I don't think that it would work on your drain. It has to actually soak into fabric that has candle wax in it. You might try boiling some water on your stove and pouring it down the sink. You might also try, I think that it's called draino max. It is in a silver bottle and it is pretty thick. That way it will coat the wax. Be sure to follow the directions on the draino bottle, though.

I would think so. I have all sorts of flies/bugs in mine. For the price it would be well worth a try.

i used it once in my bathroom sink and it did a little but that maybe because my drain is so small i wish it did come with a smaller attachment for small drains,,so i just use a small plunger for my bathroom sink. i haven't tried it yet for the kitchen ,,but i only use it for the toilet ,,,it works great there ,,,

I have no idea where you live or what are the flying nat like creatures. Might they be fruit flies? However, if they are living on the waste materials that have accumulated in the pipes, then removing those materials could help. We live in a 200 year old house with plenty of old drain pipes. I mix a gallon of Drain Care and put it into all drains whenever we go away for a vacation or long weekend. It is the last step before leaving the house. So far, we have had no problems with clogged drains, or with flying nat like creatures near the drains. Out of doors in another issue, such creatures live there in abundance.
