Gnats are more than just tiny flying annoyances — they can quickly take over your home, business, or outdoor space, especially during warm, humid months. Whether they’re fungus gnats, fruit flies, or drain flies, these pests reproduce quickly and thrive in moist environments.
If you’re tired of swatting and want long-lasting relief, you’re not alone. Fortunately, there are proven strategies to get rid of gnats — and Mosquito Sheriff is here to help.
What Attracts Gnats?
Understanding what draws gnats in is the first step toward eliminating them. Common attractants include:
-
Overwatered plants or soil
-
Rotting fruit or vegetables
-
Food scraps and crumbs
-
Dirty drains or garbage disposals
-
Standing water or leaks
If your property has any of the above, you’ve got the perfect environment for a gnat infestation.
How to Get Rid of Gnats: DIY Methods
Here are a few quick fixes you can try:
-
Apple Cider Vinegar Traps
Mix vinegar with dish soap in a shallow dish. The scent lures gnats, and the soap traps them. -
Remove Attractants
Clear out rotting produce, clean drains, and reduce moisture in potted plants. -
Use a Fan
Gnats are weak fliers. A small fan can keep them away from food or work areas. -
Dry Out Soil
Let potted plant soil dry between waterings to kill larvae hiding in damp dirt.
While these methods may provide temporary relief, they don’t address the root of the problem — especially if you’re dealing with a recurring infestation.
