Bug On A Rope (Natural Grease Degrader)

Eliminate fats, oils, and greases the natural way with Bug on a Rope

Whether you’re managing a commercial kitchen, a wastewater lift station, or an agricultural lagoon, Bug on a Rope offers an eco-friendly, effective solution to fat, oil, and grease (FOG) buildup.

Manufactured by AquaFix in Wisconsin, USA, this powerful bacterial treatment block is loaded with a blend of 7 targeted bacterial strains, enzymes, and microbial stimulants. It’s designed to supercharge biological breakdown, reduce odours, and improve wastewater flow—without the use of harsh chemicals or synthetic deodorisers.

What is Bug on a Rope?

Bug on a Rope is a slow-dissolving, 100% natural bacterial treatment block designed to break down:

• Animal fats

• Vegetable oils

• Grease build-up

It’s ideal for use in grease traps, wastewater lagoons, lift stations, and sewage lines—anywhere organic FOG buildup is an issue. Each block comes with an attached rope, making it easy to suspend in water or under inflow pipes.

Key Benefits

• Lowers BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand)
  Improves overall water quality and wastewater efficiency.

• Reduces Sulphide Production
  Cuts down on foul odours and corrosion potential.

• Outperforms Soaps & Deodorisers
  Targets the source of the problem, not just the symptoms.

• Safe & Natural
  Non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and free of synthetic additives.

• Made in the USA
  Produced by wastewater experts AquaFix, based in Wisconsin.

How It Works

• Contains 7 high-performance bacterial strains selected specifically for their ability to digest fats, oils, and greases.

• Releases enzymes and microbial nutrients to promote rapid colony growth and FOG digestion.

• Encourages natural biological activity, lowering BOD and sulphide generation without masking problems like traditional deodorisers or soaps.

As the block dissolves, it continuously seeds the system with bacteria that attach to organic matter and break it down into simpler, less harmful compounds.

How to Use

For Heavy Grease Load:

• Place the Bug on a Rope directly under the inflow of the wastewater lift station.

• If placement under flow isn’t possible, use two blocks for effective treatment.

For Moderate Grease Load:

• Suspend the Bug on a Rope 0.5–1 metre below the surface, centrally within the wastewater tank or lagoon.

Ideal For:

• Wastewater treatment plants
• Commercial kitchens
• Food processing facilities
• Agricultural lagoons
• Septic tanks and sewage lines
• Lift stations with chronic grease issues
