Forid Drain Gel Cleaner
Forid Drain Gel Cleaner
Forid Drain Gel Cleaner, manufactured by Solutions Pest and Lawn, is an organic drain gel cleaner that uses a bacterial formulation bacterial also called a Microbial Grease Degrader (MGD) that breaks down grease and other organic materials that can accumulate in drain pipes.
This ready to use product is specially designed to control drain flies, phorid flies and fruit flies harboring in your drains. Drain flies live and breed in drainage pipes and feed on the decaying matter that gets left behind over time. When poured down a drain, Forid Drain Gel Cleaner helps control various types of flies that are attracted to dirty drains.
If you are frequently seeing flies gathering around your sinks and drains, Forid Drain Gel Cleaner can remove the fly invasion and unclog your sink of all the gunk and buildup that attracts them.
Tools needed
Forid Drain Gel Cleaner is ready-to-use and requires no additional tools. This product comes in an easy to use tip-and-measure bottle. Tip the bottle over to fill the reservoir, then tip the bottle back and use the slanted lines to measure until you have the required amount. We also recommend wearing gloves as you use this product.
How to Use
- Step 1: To use Forid Drain Gel Cleaner, first identify which drains have fly activity. If you are unable to do this then you will need to treat all drains in the house. For drains that are not frequently used, you need to let 1 to 2 gallons of warm water flow through the drain before application. Apply Forid Drain Gel Cleaner at a rate of 4 fl. oz. per drain.
- Step 2: Pour Drain Gel Cleaner evenly around the lip of the drain so it coats and runs down the sides. Repeat this process daily for 5 to 7 days. Apply this product at a time when the drains are not in use for an extended period of time, like at the end of the day or overnight.
- Step 3: After application, Forid Drain Gel Cleaner begins to break down the organic buildup inside the drain and will rinse away once the drain is used. Forid Drain Gel Cleaner does not kill flies. Instead, it breaks down and removes their breeding grounds and food supply. Once the flies have nowhere to live or breed, they will leave the area. To prevent flies from coming back, apply 4 fl. oz. of product per drain every 1 to 2 weeks.
Where to use:
Forid Drain Gel Cleaner can be used in residential and commercial kitchens, restrooms, and other areas where drains are present. It can be used in floor drains and bathtub drains found in homes, restaurants, hotels, gyms and any place where drain flies are a nuisance.
When to use:
Forid Drain Gel Cleaner can be used whenever drain flies or activity are noticed. Most activity is observed after the temperature warms for spring and until it cools for winter. This product can also be used to keep drains clean before infestation can occur.
It is safe to use Forid Drain Gel Cleaner as needed, but it is recommended to apply this product once every 1 to 2 weeks after the initial treatment.
Safety Information:
Forid Drain Gel Cleaner is safe to use when used accoridng to label directions. It is non-toxic and it won't harm your plumbing or garbage disposal. Just be sure to use gloves before application.
Special Considerations:
If you cannot determine which drains are infested with flies, then it is best to cover all bases and treat every drain in the house. Depending on how far down the flies are inhabiting, it may take several applications until you completely get rid of all the drain flies.
If necessary, Forid Drain Gel Cleaner is also labeled to be used in non-drain areas and in foaming applications.
Most active infestations cannot be controlled through the use of one product. Use Forid Drain Gel Cleaner alongside an insect growth regulator, a bait, and an insecticide aerosol for complete control.

Q:Does Forid Drain Gel cleaner get rid of bad odors coming from the drain?9/11/20A:Forid Drain Gel Cleaner contains natural microbes,a berry scent, a gelling agent, and an emulsifier. The microbes eat away naturally at the organic scum buildup in drains and on floors and other areas with frequent food and water contact. The Berry scent leaves fresh odor after Forid is used. The remaining ingredients thicken and stabilize the liquid, helping it to coat drains and other treatment surfaces.

Q:Is it okay to use Forid Drain Gel Cleaner down a shower drain?9/11/20A:Forid Drain Gel Cleaner is safe for the drain in the shower. It will break up organic matter in the drain. However, if there is an excessive amount of hair inside the drain, you may need to use a tool that works well for unclogging and removing hair from the drain.
