In this short how‑to video, Mike explains that he was plagued by drain flies emerging from the utility sink in his basement laundry room. After trying various home‑made potions that failed, he discovered a simple organic remedy: using an electric countertop hot pot (approximately $25, brand Mueller) to boil water and pour it directly down the problem drain. He demonstrates the setup, describes how the hot pot sits next to the sink, and shows that after a few days of daily boiling‑water pours, the flies have disappeared. Mike emphasizes the ease, low cost, and effectiveness of the method, encouraging viewers with similar infestations to adopt the same approach.
