Green Gobbler Fruit Fly Goodbye Gel Drain Treatment | Killer Flies & Eliminator (1 Gallon)

I had a sudden gnat infestation coming from my bathroom and kitchen drains in my studio apartment after five years of living here. I ordered three bottles and used the first two within the first two weeks. After just one day, I immediately saw gnats evacuating the drains. It was a bit messy for about a week as they tried to find a new home, but I kept up the treatment and used the third bottle to cover all drains. Now, going into week three, I haven’t seen a single gnat. This product works extremely well, is affordable, and the amount in each bottle is more than enough to solve the problem. I highly recommend it.

I'd been dealing with a drain fly infestation for months and was at my wits end. Was killing 20-40 each day by hand or more. Tried all kinds of things to get rid of them - bug spray, lining my windows with bug spray, baking soda and vinegar down the drains, bug killer down the drains, sticky paper, and several other methods you've probably read about online. I even used one of those hand-held electric racket zappers to swipe at them which actually made hunting them down kind of fun. ZAP! The product: I used this pleasant smelling goo a few times as instructed and it seems to have taken care of much of the problem. After applying it to my shower drain and bathroom sink, the leftover gel around the drains had a bunch of drain fly carcasses in it the next day. I did the same thing over a period of about a week and more carcasses would appear each time. I have effectively eliminated a drain fly infestation which was driving me mad. Very cool! Keep in mind there were other tactics I employed because I wanted to be thorough and make sure these pests were GONE. So here are some suggestions which I hadn't seen listed on any of the "how to kill drain flies" sites. Adapt and use these in addition to using the gel and your problem will be no more. 1) It seems drain flies LOVE bathroom towels, especially ones left up to dry. I would pick up my towel and three or four would immediately fly off of it. So I removed the towel from the bathroom when done with it and place it in my dryer where it was inaccessible. I think they use these to breed or nest. Yuck. You can replace the towels again once the flies have been eliminated. 2) Remove bath mat, especially if made of cloth or wool. I think they breed there, too. 3) Remove any cloth shower curtains (which can get very damp). Basically, remove anything that gets wet and collects human skin cells or byproducts. 4) Flush out your jacuzzi if you have one. Jacuzzis have a lot of pipes which collect a lot of gunk just like your drain does. When I cleaned it out, a ton of unsightly organic effluvium came out, including a ton of fly carcasses. Blech! There are videos on Youtube showing how to do this. 5) Put sticky paper on the window sills. This caught a TON of stray drain flies and other pests stuck between the window and outside. 6) This is a bit more hardcore, but you may want to try buying a bug zapper and covering the windows in your living space and leave it on over night. Drain flies are attracted to light and will try to escape through your windows. When you block them out and provide only one source of light, they will be attracted to it. This seemed to help me a little bit. It captured and killed some of them but not as many as I'd hoped. 7) Vacuum the heck out of your place. I'm not an expert but it seems they like our "leftovers", as in skin cells, dust and other elements produced by indirect human waste. If anything, you'll have a nice clean environment to live in. 8) De-clutter any area where they seem to be thriving. This could help expose breeding points. The bathroom was my target as this was where most of them were congregating. I made it uninhabitable for them by stripping it bare. 9) If you have a spider, she is your best friend. I had one who was systematically capturing and eating any stray drain flies. My own personal serial killer for hire. Spider caught more of these pests than my bug zapper. I must have counted around 40 carcasses! Do not kill any spiders. They feast on these critters. Keep them around! They are literally a secret weapon which costs you nothing, except maybe a few creepy crawly dreams. I think most of the problem was addressed by the drain gel, probably 90% of the issue. Could be more or less for you. But the chances of eliminating the problem will increase if you follow the steps above. Good luck with it!

Great product. Does what it says, faster than expected. Rid my drain fly problem in 2 days. Which is good, cause it kindof stinks. Recommend you treat your drains right before bedtime. That way it has a chance to work some before running water down the drains again.

The first time I use this product it worked or so I thought. Then I was struggling for a while, although it never got as bad as some posts. I couldn’t understand why it was not working for me well, and then on my last purchase when I started pouring, I stopped and thought maybe I should shake it up. after shaking it’s pretty well for a few seconds, I poured it, and it looked pearly, white and non-translucent. before it had been more translucent. this time it worked. I just ordered my next bottle to stay ahead of it. I did see that some people mentioned boiling water and putting it down the drain. I started to do that earlier on so that they sink was pretty cleaned out of the stuff. I don’t know if that helps but it makes sense to me so I’m going to keep doing that part. I make sure to put all food scraps away, which when you have kids is a daily thing. If I noticed there’s a plate that was forgotten or something like that, and maybe the dishwasher is running, I have stuck it in the fridge to care for in the morning. I know that that’s not ideal but I wanted to share because not everybody can run to the trash and sometimes we are just exhausted and it does not take much for those little guys.

Ok, I apologize in advance, but this WILL be long. I have had these annoying flies in my home for a few years now. I originally thought it was the house plants so I got rid of them. Then the dog food was infested...got rid of that too. I still see them. They fly in front of me and I notice them mainly while I am on the computer. Sometimes they stop on the monitor when I SMASH them. I SMASH them sometimes on the bathroom vanity mirrors too. Luckily, the monitor and mirrors have never broken. To be honest, I don't know what they really are. I have read for countless hours and looked at hundreds of pictures.....fungus gnats, drain flies, fruit flies.....I can't even read what I am typing without glasses so I suppose my chances of correctly identifying them are nill. I have no plants or fruit laying around in my home. I think that leaves the drains left. I have 9 drains that I am attempting to treat. Not sure if this matters, but I am on city water so I do not have any type of septic tank issues. I also clean my drains regularly with a hard brush. When I look into any drain in my home, it is white and pristine. I had my garbage disposal removed years ago. The only drains in my home that ever get funky are the ones where I brush my teeth so I make sure to clean those 2 drains more often and thoroughly. I think it is from white toothpastes that contain calcium. I'm slowly getting to a point here. My bathroom sinks have the sinkshrooms in the drains. They kind of "hug" the drains about 1.5" into the drain and do no let hair go down. If I am trying to spit toothpaste into the drain, I have never noticed it clog or slow the drain at all, ever. I am AT my point now. The point is, I have overflow drains on all of my bathroom sinks. I have never used them for their purpose. They just kind of exist there. BUT the sinkshrooms seem to hold that toothbrushing spit and from there it has backed up into the overflow drainholes and then they eventually drain some of whatever was in them. There are 4 overflow drain holes in each of my bathroom sink drains. I had never cleaned them out before because I never knowingly used them and kind of never really noticed them until last week when I spent 3 hours on each sink cleaning them out. THEY ARE GROSS and filled with funk that grows. I had my waterpick shooting water into them for over an hour, then I got my drain brushes and cleaned them from the top, then from the bottom up in each of the 4 overflow holes in the drain. sprayed cleaner, repeated everything until the brushes came out clean every time. Yes, I'm anal. I did this to each sink and it took me 2 days. Yes, I would absolutely think flies were attracted to the funk living in there! I say all this assuming this product is the bomb. If it does not work for you at all, try looking to see if your overflows are gross. You many need to treat them as well as clean them. I, soon, will be replacing my counters and the sinks too and I can assure you the new ones will NOT have an overflow drain. It was really as gross as a garbage disposal that had never been cleaned before. So, I went through all of that, and I still have a fly. I never had an overwhelming problem with these flies, it is just one or 2, but it is daily and annoying. My toilets are both brand new, 2 weeks old, they are sealed at the bottom with new grout. They are not the issue. Bath and shower stalls and bath overflow drain were cleaned as well. That leaves the laundry room drain which is a pipe in the wall. I am hopeful this will eliminate the problem, but the whole point of this review is to CHECK YOUR OVERFLOW DRAINS IF THEY NEED TO BE CLEANED TOO! UPDATE: I have used this gallon and it went very quickly in my home. It did not work. I resorted to purchasing an indoor/outdoor bug zapper and turned it on at night in my dark kitchen. Every time I turn it on, within 10 minutes I hear the sweet sound of success. I have only zapped 5 of these in the past week, obviously I don't have an overwhelming problem, but it is still annoying just the same. I think if I was willing to spend another 60- 120 on this product and treated every drain nightly, I might be satisfied, but definitely poorer. I will see what I can accomplish with the bug light only first. I may be back to repurchase this. In any event, I do LOVE the citronella scent to this. I am not completely sure how this is supposed to work, whether it is by coating the drain and smothering any larva that may exist there, or by the citronella oil in the product. In any event, what I did notice with this product is that the gel dries overnight and then turns into a dry film that coats everything it touches. That film seems to wash down the drain. It appears to have gone down in one huge piece down the drain until the water gets hot. I am hoping the hot water melts this dried film but I have not noticed any clogs either way. I noticed all of this because I coated the end of my tub with this too because there is a dip in the tub that likes to hold water....

I used this stuff for over a week and saw NO change, the smell was making me sick YUCK. I then did bleach for three days and hot water which helped better than this stuff. The problem with this I learn quickly by doing much searching for something that works, that bleach was bad or hard on your pluming, then and now I am simply just using boiling hot water that was advised by another review. It was stated to do this many times a day for a week. I have been doing this 4x's a day, morning, afternoon, evening and before going to bed (being consistent) no less than 3x's a day. it's now 6 days and I haven't seen any in the last two days. Although I have not let my guards down because first, how much these flies were driving me crazy, beating me to my food, NASTY. Also my guard is still up high because of knowing how often they lay eggs, my hope is to get any and all that may have not come out. I also have been using the VEYOFLY TRAPS, but keep in mind that's only to catch the ones that do come out, I had that as well a small cup of vinegar and a drop of dish liquid both were an excellent help to catch. My trap and vinegar caught many (vinegar must have very little dish liquid. This is what I first started with. Since using boiling water, there have been less and less on the trap and none in the vinegar. I don't want to just go on and on, but there was a reason why I haven't used Drano, though I seriously not done yet (not comfortable). I still keep my drains closed. And I will continue using the boiling water until at least a week of nothing on the traps or in sight. I will then try to remember to flush my drain at least once a week for my comfort. Oh and for three days (1x in the day) I poured a little vinegar over my drain cover, with the hope some would seep in before I opened the drain to pour in the hot water. Just a little and only 3x's, wasn;t sure if this was harsh on the pluming, but it sure to help, from any escaping for I getting my water down. I sure do hope this helps some one, if they feel the way I feel about these annoying bugs, which made it worth my time to do the work. I can relax better when eating now.

I recently decided to tackle the tiny terror of fruit flies in my home, and let me tell you, it’s been a game-changer ever since! 🪰🚫 I picked up the FRUIT FLY GOODBYE Gel Drain Treatment, and within days, I noticed a huge difference — the flies were retreating like I’d declared war... and won. 🏆✨ At first, I was a little hesitant because of the idea of pouring something into all the drains, but I’m SO glad I did. The gel goes a long way — we have a standard 3 bed/2 bath home, and I’ve already treated all the drains at least 10 times with one gallon! A little really does go a long way. 💧💪 What I love most is that it truly works without being totally unbearable to use. The scent is strong but minty, which I actually appreciated — way better than the usual chemical smell! 🍃 It felt like a minty-fresh defense system, silently working to keep the bugs at bay. And let’s not forget how simple it is to use — just pour, let it sit, and boom: peace restored. 🧼✨ Perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, or anywhere else those pesky flies like to party uninvited. If you're considering this product, go for it! I’d rate it a “10 drains out of 10” — say goodbye to bugs and hello to relief! 🙌🚿🍃

Excellent product that works very well to get rid of sewer flies. Highly recommend.
