Product Details

Looking for a way to keep mosquitoes under control this summer. Well, if you've got downspouts and downspout extenders there is an ideal breeding ground right in your backyard. Downspout extenders are a great way to direct rainwater away from your home, but the corrugated design often leads to an accumulation of stagnant water. This leftover water is the perfect place for mosquitoes to lay their eggs. We created GUTTERFOAM - Drain Tube as an easy way to prevent mosquitoes and other pests from using your gutter system to breed in. The minimalist design is effective and easy to install while letting rainwater pass through unimpeded. GUTTERFOAM - Drain Tube is made from the same high-quality polyether outdoor foam as GUTTERFOAM and is infused with a UV and germicide protectant to prevent bacteria growth in your downspout. Installation is easy, just insert GUTTERFOAM - Drain Tube foam into the end of your downspout or downspout extender and that is it, removal is just as simple. GUTTERFOAM - Drain Tube measures 4.4 in. across and 2.2 in. and can be easily be cut to fit smaller openings. GUTTERFOAM - Drain Tube also works great with rain barrels as a simple way to prevent debris from accumulating in the bottom of your rain barrel. GUTTERFOAM - Drain Tube is available in packages of 4 to protect every corner of your home, but with the ease and variety of use, it is always useful to have a few extra on hand.
  • Keeps mosquitos from nesting
  • Water runs through it
  • Infused with a UV and germicide protectant to prevent bacteria
  • Easy installation
  • Contains 4-pieces per package

        Answer This Question

        A:  Drain Tube is meant for your downspout extenders to keep out the bugs and pests. It is a foam material and does not have any harmful chemicals in it. The only chemicals that are in it, help prevent UV degradation and molding.

            It doesn't do what it's supposed to do.
            The first heavy rain spit that plug out of the downspout extension instead of allowing the water to flow through it as described in the sales and product literature. Should have know it was too good to be true.

            Steve,
            Sorry to hear that GutterFoam Drain Tube did not work for you. When it is in the downspout extension it should fit very tight, thus heavy rain would not push it out. This is the first time we have heard of this issue. If the foam was not tight and you need a larger piece of foam, we can custom cut any size piece of foam. Please contact us at 866-766-3442 if you would like to discuss further. TjmWW

            Gutterfoam drain tube works great and has eliminated the problem of leaves getting into my rain barrel. In addition, has also made it impossible for mosquitos to get into the rain barrel as well.

              These almost completely blocked my downspouts during a heavy rain storm. I’m so lucky I checked on them (and removed them) — huge amounts of water came pouring out. Not a good trade off, IMO: who cares about mosquitoes if the product causes water damage to your home?

              It fits right in my extended drain pipes. So I should have no more snakes going in one of them and the others should stop mosquitos from breeding.
