Pesticide doesn't fit into a P-trap.
A mechanical barrier does.
IPM clients are asking for it.

DDD operators know — a floor drain is a breeding ground for Fruit fly i PsychodaClassic treatments with bio-enzymes or chemicals last 7–14 days, so the cycle returns. Green Drain™ is an IPM solution — a mechanical barrier that breaks the breeding cycle, with no repeats, no chemicals.

Problem & solution

Why the classical treatment It doesn't work.

Bio-enzymes, organophosphates, pyrethroids—all drain treatments have the same problem: the effect lasts only until the chemicals evaporate or break down. Then the biofilm returns, the flies come back, and the client calls.

Without Green Drain™

  • Bio-enzyme treatments last 7–14 days — the client needs to repeat.
  • Chemical treatments — resistance, EU regulatory pressure, the client is not happy
  • Major HoReCa clients are seeking IPM solutions — LEED points, ESG reporting.
  • The client receives an inspection and requests proof of an active measure — bio-enzymes are not proof.
  • The DDD technical procedure includes a mechanical barrier as 'Tier 1' in the IPM hierarchy.

With Green Drain™

  • DDD operators offer Green Drain™ to customers as a premium option.
  • Mechanical barrier — not subject to resistance or environmental constraints.
  • No repeat treatments — one job = 5 years of control
  • The DDD partner documents the installation as a 'Tier 1' IPM measure for the client.
  • Discount for DDD distributors — more profitable than recurring bio-enzyme treatments
EU regulatory framework

Sector Professionalizes IPM.

EU Regulation 528/2012 (BPR – Biocidal Products Regulation) imposes strict restrictions on biocides. Pressure to reduce pesticide use is growing. Type A clients (HoReCa, food) are seeking an IPM approach with mechanical barriers as the first layer of protection.

Model Recommendation

Recommendation per client profile

A professional DDD operator keeps stock of all the most common sizes so he can install the solution on-site during an intervention. HoReCa clients, hotel portfolios, and private residences dominate—each has a different profile. Industrial clients are rare but involve larger sums.
