Eliminating the Hidden Breeding Network Beneath Estates, Worksites & F&B Premises

Drain & Gully Treatment

Drain and gully treatment is the inspection, desilting and larviciding of scupper drains, gully traps, floor traps, sumps and inspection chambers to stop mosquito breeding in a property's drainage network. In Singapore these covered habitats are the most commonly missed breeding sources during NEA vector inspections of estates, worksites and F&B premises.

Drains and gully traps are the breeding habitats that in-house checks miss most often, because they are covered, dark and unpleasant to open. Our drain and gully treatment programme lifts covers, desilts, dips for larvae, applies NEA-approved larvicides and treats organic biofilm, converting a hidden reservoir of Culex and Aedes production into a documented, controlled part of your vector programme.

Drain & Gully Treatment
Warning Signs

Signs of Infestation

Mosquitoes emerging from drain covers, floor traps or inspection chambers
Silt, leaf litter and organic sludge visible in scupper drains
Standing water in drains with no fall or with blocked outlets
Gully traps that are dry, cracked, uncovered or missing grating
Drain flies hovering near kitchen floor traps and grease interceptors
Foul odour from drainage indicating heavy biofilm accumulation
Why Act Now

Health & Safety Risks

Continuous Culex production sustaining night-biting complaints across an estate
Aedes breeding in dry or uncovered gully traps triggering enforcement action
Breeding detections during NEA inspection despite clean surface areas
Odour and drain-fly complaints from F&B tenants, diners and residents
SFA and hygiene grading impact for food premises with untreated drainage
Escalating desilting cost when silt accumulation is left for years
Treatment Methods

Our Solutions

Drain Mapping & Cover Lifting

Systematic lifting and numbering of every drain cover, floor trap, gully trap and inspection chamber so nothing stays outside the inspection register.

Desilting & Source Reduction

Removal of silt, leaf litter and organic sludge that holds water and feeds larvae, plus advisory on falls, gratings and missing covers.

Larviciding of Drainage

Bti, sand granular and IGR formulations selected for organically polluted water, applied at measured dose with retreatment matched to residual life.

Biofilm & Bio-Enzyme Treatment

Enzyme dosing of floor traps and grease interceptors to break down the organic film that sustains drain flies and small-fly breeding.

Gully Trap Rectification Advisory

Identification of dry, cracked or uncovered gully traps and clear recommendations to the M&E or building team, tracked to closure.

Thermal Fogging of Drain Lines

Targeted fogging along drain runs and voids to knock down adults resting in the drainage network between larvicide cycles.

Our Approach

Treatment Process

1

Survey and numbering of the complete drainage network including covered chambers

2

Cover lifting and larval dipping at each point to establish a breeding baseline

3

Desilting and removal of organic accumulation from positive and high-risk points

4

Larvicide application at measured dose with product matched to water quality

5

Bio-enzyme dosing of floor traps and grease interceptors where organic load is high

6

Fogging of drain runs and voids where adult activity is confirmed

7

Retreatment cycle, dipping verification and dated reporting with photographs
