Restaurant owner needs a safe, compliant, and effective method to prevent drain flies from nesting in grease traps without relying solely on external pest control and cleaning services.

Current solutions are reactive (hiring pest control after infestation) or uncertain (Fly Zyme may not be approved for NYC restaurant compliance). No clear, proactive, and compliant prevention tool is available.
