Bio-Snake Blocks® provide a comprehensive approach to maintaining clean and odor-free grease traps and drains. Designed to cater to the needs of the food service industry, these blocks offer several advantages over traditional liquid treatments. Here are the key benefits that make Bio-Snake Blocks® the preferred choice for efficient grease management:
Save Time and Money: Bio-Snake Blocks® help extend the time between scheduled pumpings, reducing costly emergency service calls. With their ability to lower effluent BOD levels by up to 80%, these blocks can also minimize EPA and Health Department complaints, helping you stay compliant while saving on operational expenses.
Environmentally Friendly: Bio-Snake Blocks® meet strict EPA and Health Department standards, making them an eco-friendly choice for grease trap maintenance. They also comply with the “Purchase of Sustainable Cleaning Products and Materials” criteria under the LEED point management system, ensuring your business aligns with sustainable practices.
Continuous Grease Digestion: With a special time-release formula, each Bio-Snake Block works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, lasting up to 30 days. These blocks contain bacterial spores that continuously digest grease, converting it into harmless byproducts like CO2 and H2O. This makes them an efficient and low-maintenance solution for your grease trap management.
Bio-Snake Blocks® work through a unique and innovative approach to grease trap and drain treatment. Each block is formulated with a blend of specialized bacteria and enzymes specifically designed to target and digest organic matter, including grease, oils, and food particles commonly found in grease traps and drains. When placed in the trap, the block slowly dissolves over time, releasing these bacteria and enzymes into the system. These active agents then begin to break down the accumulated organic material, converting it into harmless byproducts such as carbon dioxide and water. This process not only effectively eliminates grease buildup but also helps to mitigate unpleasant odors associated with decomposing organic matter, resulting in a cleaner and fresher environment.
To use Bio-Snake Blocks® effectively, simply place one block at the bottom of the grease trap or drain. For grease traps with a capacity between 500-1000 gallons, one large block is recommended, while larger traps exceeding 1000 gallons may require additional blocks. It is advisable to conduct a follow-up assessment after two weeks to evaluate the initial application’s effectiveness and make any necessary adjustments. With each block lasting up to four weeks, users can enjoy extended treatment intervals and cost savings without compromising on effectiveness. Bio-Snake Blocks® are a convenient and hassle-free solution for maintaining grease traps and drains in various settings, including commercial kitchens, restaurants, and food service establishments.

1. Determine trap size.
Width x Height x Depth = Cubic Feet
Cubic Feet x 7.5 = Gallon Capacity
2. Recommend dosage below. For the initial application, double the dose.
| Trap Size | Recommended Dosage | Approximate Life |
|---|---|---|
|
5 gallons |
one 3 oz. block |
25 – 30 days* |
|
5 – 40 gallons |
one 8 oz. block |
25 – 30 days* |
|
40 – 80 gallons |

one LARGE block |
25 – 30 days* |
* Results will vary upon types of food prepared (vegetables and large chunks of meat are harder to digest), temperature, amount of water flow and the trap water pH.
** For traps larger than 1000 gallons, one LARGE block per 1000 gallons is recommended.
3. Always begin with a recently cleaned (or pumped) trap.
4. Place blocks away from the inlet, towards the middle and submerged in the water, not resting in grease. The blocks need water to dissolve. If using more than one block, place in a scattered pattern.
5. For the most effectiveness, water temperature should be below 150° F.
6. After the initial application, do a follow-up in two weeks to gauge the success of the initial application and to determine what works best for that specific trap.
At the two-week checkpoint, you want to look for the following:
7. Check back in two more weeks and the blocks should be practically gone.
