What are you gents doing to get rid of "Gnats" Fruit Flies coming out of Sink/Drain?

Those aren't gnats or fruit flies!

Usually and indication of an open drain pipe, dry trap, or other drain pipe defect.

We used a can of Raid with a flexible scrap hose segment and gave those disposal-dwellers a few doses. They be dead now, or moved elsewhere.

1. I do not have any.
2. When a customer has them, I do not do anything about them.

No specific stuff.

The larvae are supposed to be well-protected but it seemed to work anyway. Just keep whackin' 'em.

I had a really bad problem back at the start of may,

but a friend recommended boiling water so i tried and it worked ! !

I dumped a couple of big pots boiling water down every drain ie; kitchen sink

both sides includes g/d, lav sink, bathtub/shower, but "not" toilet i poured

a couple cups of beach in bowl to set overnite,

also i put the drain stoppers in the sinks and closed the bathtub drain,

i noticed a immediate improvement the next day and a couple days later no

more problems ! !
