Drain flies are pesky, gnat-like flying insects that are commonly seen inside home showers. They are difficult to get rid of because they lay their eggs and the larvae feed on waste matter lining the inside of your pipes.  Killing the adult flies on the wall does not solve the problem because new larvae continue to hatch and grow inside the pipe.

The most effective method for eliminating drain flies is to remove their food source, and Bio-Clean is the most effective method for cleaning the inside walls of your pipes. We recommend increasing both the dosage and frequency (up to twice daily) of application in your drain and continuing for up to 10 days. Bio-Clean won't kill the drain flies directly, but it will thoroughly consume the waste they feed on, and they'll be gone. See a recent testimonial.

• Neutral pH (7.0)
• No toxicity present
• Temperature between 60 and 95° F
• Water sufficient to prevent drying
• Time required according to circumstances

Absolutely - in several ways.  The bacteria in Bio-Clean are specially selected to digest a larger variety of waste, and metabolize it faster, than naturally occurring bacteria or yeast additives. Oils, fats, grease, and paper are very difficult for intestinal bacteria to handle. Bio-Clean is very effective on these materials. Bio-Clean increases solids destruction, so fewer pumpings are needed and that means money saved.

More complete digestion also means fewer undigested solids leaving the tank. These solids would otherwise form a black gooey accumulation in the leach field and prevent water absorption by the soil. Therefore, Bio-Clean extends leach field life.

All of our biological treament products safely degrade organic waste, and in generally they can all be used effectively in treating drains, pipes, septic systems, etc. So we are often asked which product should be used - a Bioredex powder or liquid?

The benefit of the powder product like Bio-Clean and MegaMicrobes DRY is that they are a little less expensive on a per-use basis at the home use level. You can literally get up to 100 uses out a single 2-pound jar of Bio-Clean for cleaning home drains. And although MegaMicrobes Liquid has a stated shelf-life of 1-year, the powder blends can often go well beyond that if stored dry and in non-extreme temperatures. Powder is also lighter and thus easier to ship and store.*

The benefit of our MegaMicrobes Liquid is that it goes right to work with no pre-mixing, and has more digesting power due to the presence of pseudomonas bacteria. Many people prefer to simply pour the treatment down without pre-mixing. The liquid is also well-suited to applications where daily treatment is recommended, such as in commercial grease traps or lift stations where an automated injector pump can dispense a small amount of into the waste container at a scheduled time.

*PLEASE NOTE that our dry products should never be compared to off-the-shelf liquid brands which are weaker and often contain fragrances, detergents or other emulsifiers that work against truu biodegradation. Our dry products are superior to these in cost-per-use AND effectiveness.
