In this short instructional video, Mike explains how he solved a persistent drain fly infestation in his basement laundry room's utility sink. After trying various home remedies without success, he discovered that repeatedly pouring boiling water from a Mueller hot pot down the drain effectively eradicated the flies. He demonstrates the setup, describes the hot pot (approximately $25, brand new), and advises viewers to keep the pot nearby and pour boiling water each time they pass the sink. He reports no flies after two to three days of using this method and suggests the solution will continue to work.

Hi, my name is Mike. I never thought I'd make a video like this, a how to video, but I think you could benefit from it. If you have drain flies. I found the solution that works. It's easy.

I don't know if you can see the blue rim around it, but I've been trying different potions and lotions, effectively that have been pouring down the sink, and it hasn't worked. One of the home remedies is using boiling water. It's a pain for me to run upstairs and, you know, get to the sink, to the stove and use it. But here's what I found. And this has been working great for the last two, three days. I think it's going to continue to work great. It's a hot pot. I think it cost about 25 bucks. The brand I have is called Mueller. It's brand new. I don't know if this one's better or worse than any other, but it's been in here about three, four minutes. It's boiling water. Now I'm going to pour it down the drain. I started this a couple of days ago. Not a single fly. So if you've drained flies, get a hot pot right next to your source, and every time you walk by, pour down some boiling water.
