Product Overview

Mighty Mikey is a specialized microbial formulation designed to restore and maintain healthy biological activity in septic tanks, drain fields, holding tanks, and wastewater systems. This natural consortium of archaea and bacteria rapidly digests organic biosolids, fats, oils, greases, and sludge while reducing odors and improving flow.

Safe for all residential and commercial septic systems, Mighty Mikey helps prevent costly backups, slow drains, field saturation, and system failures. It works continuously once activated with water and is completely non-toxic, non-GMO, and environmentally friendly.

Product Description

Key Benefits

  • Breaks down organic biosolids, sludge, and sediment
  • Reduces fats, oils, grease (FOG), and soap buildup
  • Helps eliminate odor-causing compounds (H₂S, ammonia)
  • Improves system flow and drain field percolation
  • Helps prevent backups, overflows, and field saturation
  • Supports long-term biological balance and system health
  • May reduce pump-out frequency with regular use
  • Safe for plumbing, tanks, pumps, and septic system materials

How it Works

Mighty Mikey introduces a concentrated consortium of beneficial microbes into the septic system, where they begin breaking down organic waste, biosolids, fats, oils, grease, and sludge through natural biological processes. Once activated with water, the microbes disperse throughout the system and continue working as long as organic material and moisture are present.

By restoring balanced microbial activity, Mighty Mikey helps improve waste digestion, reduce odor formation, enhance system flow, and support proper drain field function. Regular use maintains long-term biological stability and helps prevent system stress and failure.

Safety & Environmental Compliance

Mighty Mikey is a non-hazardous microbial product that does not meet OSHA criteria for hazardous classification. The microbial population is classified as low-risk (Class 1) and has not been associated with safety concerns when handled properly.

The product may generate dust during handling, which can cause mild respiratory or eye irritation. Avoid inhalation of dust, minimize dust generation, and use good hygiene practices when handling powdered materials. The material may be slippery when wet.

Mighty Mikey is stable and non-reactive under normal conditions and is safe for septic systems, plumbing, people, pets, and the surrounding environment when used as directed. Store sealed in a cool, dry place and follow all recommended handling and storage guidelines.

Usage Instructions

Application Method

Step 1 - Apply to System: Flush 1oz. of Mighty Mikey into a toilet or kitchen drain, or pour directly into access points (distribution box, holding tank).

Step 2 - Activate: Add a minimum of 8oz. of water to activate microbes and help disperse through the system.

Step 3 - Allow Continuous Contact: Microbes immediately begin breaking down organic waste and continue working as long as water, oxygen and energy source are available.

Step 4 - Sustain Regular Use: For best performance, apply monthly for maintenance or every 3 weeks for problem systems.

Recommended Application Rates

Environment

Rate

Septic Systems - Residential

• Maintenance Dose: 1oz. per month into toilet or drain
• Stressed / Slow Systems: 1oz. weekly for 3 weeks, then resume regular monthly maintenance

Drain Fields & Leach Fields

3oz. (100 g) per 200 gal• 4oz. mixed in 1–2 gallons of water and applied to distribution box or field access point
• Repeat weekly until flow improvisions

Holding Tanks (RV, Marine, Portable)

• 2–4oz. per 40–60 gallons of waste capacity
• Add after each pump-out for odor control and waste reduction

Important Considerations

⚠ Please read before using product.

Use 1oz. of Mighty Mikey per 500 gal septic tank

Avoid adding bleach, disinfectants, or harsh chemicals immediately before or after treatment

Works in aerobic and anaerobic conditions

Microbial activity slows in cold temperatures

Safe for plumbing, pipes, tanks, pumps, and all system materials

Completely safe for people, pets, and the environment

Does not treat chemical toxins, solvents, or heavy metals (but reduces associated organic residue)

What does Mighty Mikey do?


Mighty Mikey restores and maintains healthy biological activity in septic systems by breaking down organic waste, biosolids, fats, oils, grease, and sludge while reducing odors and improving system performance.

Where can Mighty Mikey be used?


It is designed for septic tanks, drain fields, holding tanks, wastewater systems, and RV or marine waste systems.

How does Mighty Mikey work?


Beneficial microbes activate when hydrated and begin digesting organic waste and sludge, helping improve flow, reduce odors, and restore biological balance throughout the system.

Is Mighty Mikey safe to use?


Yes. It is non-toxic, non-GMO, and not classified as hazardous. Avoid inhaling dust and follow normal handling precautions.

How often should Mighty Mikey be used?


Typical maintenance use is 1 oz per month per septic system. For stressed systems, weekly use for several weeks may be recommended before returning to monthly maintenance.

Does it treat chemicals or heavy metals?


No. Mighty Mikey is designed to break down organic waste. It does not treat chemical toxins, solvents, or heavy metals.

What conditions help it work best?


Avoid adding bleach, disinfectants, or harsh chemicals immediately before or after treatment, as these may inhibit microbial activity. Microbial activity may slow in very cold temperatures.

How should Mighty Mikey be stored?


Store sealed in a cool, dry location away from moisture. Shelf life is 5+ years when stored properly.
