How To Kill Gnats – The Tiny Menace

August 29th, 2008 Posted in Flies & Gnats

In a seeming re-enactment of Apocalypse Now, an army of gnats has bombarded your indoor plants, garbage cans, and dirty sink. There is only one recourse now.

It is an all out war: you vs. the gnats.

There’s no time to waste. You must search and destroy now, then figure out how to prevent the enemy from returning to your fort again. Want to know how?

This article will answer the following:




How Do You Kill Gnats in Your Home?


It is time to strap on your helmet, soldier, and end the gnat occupation.

There are a couple of proven ways to get rid of gnats, both effective in their own right.


helmet


Lethal Liquids

First, you will lure the enemy into an ambush with non-toxic household liquids placed strategically in common areas for the gnat infestation. Remember, the gnats will surely have fortified positions near your houseplants, drains and trash cans.

Vinegar mixed with hand soap in a bowl will lure them from the trenches to their doom, as will a well-placed wine and sugar mixture covered with plastic wrap and poked with holes (no celebratory swigs until all targets have been eliminated).

Air Assault

Now that their numbers have been weakened, drive the invaders out. It’s time to call in an air assault (please strap on your gas mask).

Using these methods will rid your home of bugs, but you must always use caution not to hurt yourself in the process. For homes with pets and children, these chemicals are not recommended. Hair-spray, when applied directly to the swarm, will freeze their wings and suffocate them like a fly underwater. After a successful hair-spray assault, turn on all fans and open all windows, as it is time for a full out nuclear demolition.

Using a fogger should ensure that the gnats have nowhere to run (or fly) for cover, but you have to be willing to leave the front lines and sleep on a friend’s couch until it’s safe to return home.


Biological Warfare

While conventional methods are effective, you have better weapons at your disposal. Household chemicals and traditional pesticides are not the most environmentally friendly option. These products are harmful to inhale and endanger your health, your pets, and members of your family.

An alternative to the conventional is EcoSMART’s Flying Insect Killer.

How can an organic insecticide be effective? In the case of this product, all-natural oils such as peppermint, cinnamon, and sesame are used. These oils are natural defenses that plants use against insects, so you can defeat your flying foes without collateral damage.

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) classifies this product as “minimum-risk” and is therefore safe for use around pets and humans (no need for a gas mask here).



Now that you’ve killed the enemy, it’s time to defend your territory from future occupations. First, address what attracted gnats in the first place, then take preventative measures.




What Attracts Gnats Into Your Home?

Gnats are simple creatures. The only things they need are a steady source of food and a place to reproduce. If gnats have a food source and a breeding ground, each generation can live up to 4 months, so if you don’t get rid of these pests quickly, you could be in for months of annoyance. Inside your home, there are 3 major places where they can find the food and shelter they need:

  1. Plants: The fungus gnat is attracted to over-watered plants. The gnat likes to lay its eggs in the over-saturated soil where the larvae can feed off the fungus and rich nutrients that form in the soil. Several types of gnat feed off decaying plant matter their whole lives.
  2. Sinks and Drains: Many varieties of gnat make their home near water and in the scum that collects in drains. Gnats can also find ample food left behind on dishes.
  3. Garbage: Dark, damp, full of rotting food: What more could a gnat want? Garbage is prime gnat real estate and probably the biggest source of your pest problem.


How Do You Prevent Gnat Infestation?


The enemy is already in your base, but that does not mean that it is too late to practice good prevention techniques. When fighting a war, the first step is to cut off your enemies supply lines. Luckily, you can do this without bringing in the heavy artillery. Keep the gnats from sending in reinforcements by:

  • Sealing Trash Bags
  • Cleaning Dishes & Sinks
  • Taking Care Not to Over-Water Plants

    Great article, now i know how to get rid of these things.

  3. By patrick de caprio on Oct 2, 2008

    i have an infestation of gnats in my house. i have no house plants, keep fruit in refrig and keep my sink drain clean. they are in every room of the house especially bathroom/kitchen. how can i kill htem

  4. By Nick Buchheit on Oct 2, 2008

    Patrick,

    I would try the using my PHASE2: Lethal Liquids method first. This involves: Vinegar mixed with hand soap in a bowl or a wine and sugar mixture covered with plastic wrap and poked with holes. Place these in the locations where the infestation is most severe. If the swarm is big enough spray them with EcoSmart insecticide. That will finish them off.

    I’m thinking there might be some still water, or water leakage somewhere in the kitchen and bathroom. This could be why they are attracted to these areas.

  5. By Jessi on Nov 10, 2008

    great site found exactly what i needed I went to tons of other sites and couldn’t find organic home solutions to my gnat pest control

  6. By Joey Rahimi on Nov 17, 2008

    I hate gnats too!

  7. By Deb on Nov 26, 2008

    I got rid of my plants that my mom sent me and now I got silk plants. I cleaned my sinks out and bathroom. Now they are coming into my bedroom. I don’t have anything in there except an air duct. I have been noticing that when my heat comes on I get little black bugs flying around and they like to fly into your eyes. I will try that spray though thanks alot.

  8. By Jess on Nov 27, 2008

    Thanks for all the help! Having an ongoing war with gnats here…

  9. By Kathy on Dec 26, 2008

    I have gnats. They fly around my kitchen and every day when I go to the sink they swarm upwards. They are now going into the other rooms and are driving me crazy. I have tried the vinegar and soap method and have only caught a few. We do not have plants, but do have 2 rabbits and 4 dogs. How do I kill these pests?

  10. By Nick on Jan 2, 2009

    Kathy,

    Sounds like you might need to check your drainage in your sink. Something is attracting them there. As long as there are no dirty dishes or food left over in the sink. The next best thing is to really try and spray them.

  11. By Celeste on Jan 11, 2009

    We have a major Sand Gnat Situation! They even swarm around the window of our kitchen door just waiting to attack. We have to run to the car, get in quick and close the doors fast or we get majorly bitten. They don’t come out when it’s really cold or very hot during the daytime. Any suggestions on how to handle this? What plants can we put around our backyard and porch to minimize this situation?
    Thanks Nick.

    I live in a rural area on 96 acres if land, i never leave fruits or food out..and no matter what i do..i yet have these nasty lil creatures near my sink drains..i have tried to many things to get rid of them, but they must like my home..as they always com eback!

  13. By Vaness Rupp on Feb 4, 2009

    I am bothered with tiny, tiny flying insects in my living room. I don’t have over watered plants but do have two plants that are watered slightly every two weeks. You sit down to relax and read the paper and they fly around your head. They are so small you can’t see them or swat them. What can I do?

  14. By EcoSMART Kara on Feb 5, 2009

    Celeste,

    First, I would recommend protecting yourselves with insect repellent, like DEET-free EcoSMART’s Organic Insect Repellent which keeps mosquitoes, ticks, AND gnats away.

    Secondly, the best way to get rid of the infestation is to treat moist areas where sand flies thrive and lay eggs; this includes areas such as: clogged gutters, mulch or wood chips, dripping faucets, planters, drainage ditches, sewers, leaves, and any other place that is wet. Check out such areas to see if they are the source and spray with EcoSMART’s Organic Flying Insect Killer, which is safe for the environment.

  15. By EcoSMART Kara on Feb 5, 2009

    Kathy Campbell,

    For drain fly control:

    1. Scrub drain pipes with a stiff brush to remove all slime.

    2. Pour hot water down the drain for temporary control – larvae can trap air bubbles and remain submerged for at least a day.

    3. Clean your garbage can and under appliances, like your refrigerator and microwave.

    For more information see: How to Get Rid of Gnats on our blog.

  16. By EcoSMART Kara on Feb 5, 2009

    Vaness Rupp,

    Perhaps you have drain flies, rather than fungus gnats. Refer to post above.

    Thanks!

  17. By Tyler on May 13, 2009

    Thanks! I now know how to get rid of these little buggers! No pun intended

  18. By Roger Sowers on Jul 4, 2009

    To find out what you are dealing with take a small fan,one ripe bananna and a pair of panty hose.
    Tape the top of hose to the front of fan placing the ripe bananna at the back of fan.Let the fan run all day and before turning the fan off tie off hose.You might be surprised what you find!

    i cant take the army of gnats the my roses have on them .ive tried lots and lots of stuff but dont want to kill them (roses)just want to get rid of those pesky things

  20. By JT on Jul 11, 2009

    I must say, when summer arrived I was excited to plant some potted basil plants, tomatoes, etc in my studio. About 5 weeks later those little bugger gnats have taken over. I’ve laid out the vinegar dishes which is helping, but I may need something stronger. I am actually really interested in trying this product. Perhaps I can do a product review for it my site http://www.theenvironmentalblog.org. Looks like a great product. =)

  21. By Derrick on Jul 12, 2009

    I came across your web site. I have a bad problem with what I believe are gnats. They have swarmed in all of the rooms of our house. A lot of the solutions, besides prevention, you have given on your site have produced no results. We are working extra hard to keep all organic material away. They just keep multiplying. What else will it take? The solution of vinegar and soap has no effect. Sticky traps only catch a few. Any other helpful tips?

  22. By Thiace Norman on Jul 12, 2009

    OMG, there are gnats all through out my kitchen ( around the sink and the trash) and they are now starting to migrate throughout the house. They are so annoying and unsanitary. Please please please help me get rid of them!!!!!

  23. By Joan Lunsmann on Jul 13, 2009

    I have scrubbed everything in my kitchen and still the gnats are flying everywhere. We have a conure who eats fresh fruit and veggies and I cannot keep the gnats out of his food, even though it’s only in his cage for an hour, I can’t use pesticides around the bird and hate the thought of moving out for a day to have the place bombed. Could I use the ecosmart around the bird?

  24. By Alex on Jul 14, 2009

    I have what appear to be fungus gnats in my office at work where I have a potted plant. I’ve tried the wine mixture and trapping them with a fan and hose. I can’t spray anything toxic at work and don’t want to kill the plant. What’s next to try?

  25. By ed on Jul 30, 2009

    right on

  26. By Shannon on Aug 5, 2009

    I actually work at the airport and we have a problem with the gnats in several of our locations. It seems like this might be a product that could possibly work for us. Most of our issue seems to come from floor drains and standing water.

  27. By anita dotson on Aug 7, 2009

    Just got home from a rip and Gnats every where Thank you for the help!! They will be gone soon.

  28. By anita on Aug 7, 2009

    Will try a few diff things to get rid of these Gnats

  29. By Steve on Aug 8, 2009

    I’m getting gnats flying around in the living room. The only place I can figure out where they are coming from is maybe the window air conditioner. We have no other water sources, plants, and the trash in here is mainly paper stuff not food. What would you suggest I try?

  30. By Stefanie Schmidt on Aug 10, 2009

    I would love to use your products to get rid of my tiny pests.

  31. By Teresa Breland on Aug 11, 2009

    I have a terrible gnat problem, id love to try this out

  32. By Jackie Pitts on Aug 29, 2009

    Count me in, please! I read this website a few weeks ago and have doing the vinegar & soap thing. Kills a bunch but it doesn’t seem to lower their numbers any. I don’t want to cook, eat, or invite anyone in my home. These things DO bite,too!
    I recently cut my finger really bad trying to swat one near my food processor. Stupid move but I was driven temporarily insane. Anyone who has them knows what I mean!
    I would try anything to get rid of them!

  33. By Scott on Sep 7, 2009

    I don’t know what I have here, but I can not see them unless the sun is directly behind them. If I look directly at the sun at dusk, them shade my eyes from the sun, I can see them in the back gound – millions of them. Tiny little clear things zipping around like aliens. They are so thick that I know I’m breathing them and they are all over me. At first they were only outside, but they are obviously inside now, because they are small enough to get through the tiniest screen. I’m constantly itching, but it doesn’t feel like I’m being bitten.
    This all started when I removed my lawn and replaced it with drought tolerant plants. The last phase was to lay pine bark mulch as ground cover. The next day, I notices a small swarm hovering over a section of my yard. The sun had to be in the background to see them. They were about a millimeter in size and resembled gnats, but clear. What I’m seeing now though is much, much smaller and much larger in number..
    I’ve never experienced anything like this before and am afraid that there is no way to get rid of these things.
    They never seem to land on anything, they just zig zag erratically. Well, they must land, because Ican feel them all over me. They don’t seem to be bothering my cat, thankfully, but these things are so much smaller than fleas that she may not notice them. They don’t really bother me that much, but I notice I’m constantly brushing this invisible source of distraction away. It almost looks like a swarm of dust, when I look at them at dusk, with the sun in the background.
    Since I’m breathing these things, should I be worried?
    Will anything that happens naturally in nature, like the change of seasons, get rid of these things?
    Since they didn’t show up until the mulch was spread out, I’m assuming that it is the source of where these things came from, but I’ve spread over 2000 sq ft and can not tale it away at this point. I’ve seen pictures of fungus gnats and I don’t thing this is what is flying around here. Also, they don’t look like bed bugs and they don’t bite.
    So what do I do??
    Thanks for any information.
    If this EcoSmart is a solution, please, by all means, I’ll be glad to try it out!

  34. By Christine on Sep 11, 2009

    We just moved in to our first home a few months ago, I was excited about buying new plants to fill up the house but now I’ve got nats everywhere! I’m currently using sticky tape and have caught a ton but they’re still in the house, bathrooms & kitchen. The house is only a few years old, would they be in a new house drain?
    I would love to be one of your product testers.

  35. By Charlotte on Sep 17, 2009

    Boooooo gnats.

  36. By Lisa on Sep 18, 2009

    I have been trying to get rid of weavels, gnats and fruit flies in my home for about 6 months. I have cleaned out all the corners of my kitchen thouroghly and now they will disappear for awhile but always come back. They are everywhere even in an upstairs bedroom and bath. I have used foggers twice thru-out the house…they still come back.I will try the vinegar and dish washing soap but I have a feeling that I will need more than just that. HELP!!!

  37. By Jez on Sep 21, 2009

    I am going to try the vinegar solution. I too have tried everything. Recently had drains cleaned, soaped out the garbage cans, repotted the few plants I have, no fruits or veggies lying out ever, yet the gnats keep coming. Hoping this solution gets rid of them – FOR GOOD! Thanks for the tip.

  38. By Victoria on Sep 29, 2009

    I also have trouble with the Fungus gnats. I have them mostly coming from my plants that need constant moisture. It helps to keep your dishes and sinks clean, but does’nt really matter that much because the reason you’re seeing them around your sinks is because that is where they are breeding (DOWN INSIDE THE DRAIN TRAP). Yes, that is where they lay their eggs. It helps to pour just a little Bleach, Pinesol or Drain Cleaner into the each drain in your house. Kitchen, Bathroom Sink, Bath Tub drain, etc. Make sure you get every one in the house, Basement as well. There is always sitting water in your drain pipes. Even tho it gets rinsed often when running water, they are still attracted to the mold, fungus, slime, whatever is building up in the pipes. You must do this every 3 days or so. Let it sit over night before rinsing out. I’m going to try some sticky tape today and the vinegar and soap dish next to plants in in each room.
    I know that Bleach is not natural and the fumes are toxic. So it would be GREAT to have an ALL NATURAL PRODUCT that is safe for people, animals and the environment. So I would LOVE to try your EcoSMART Natural Product. And I will be your Best Commercial!!!

  39. By Lynette on Oct 1, 2009

    Please help! I do not have plants, my trash is mostly paper and I do not keep fruit sitting out. These gnats are everywhere and I am constantly itching-these things bite! I have put apple cidar vinegar mixed with dish soap in paper cups all over the apartment, no lids or saran wrap.This did NOTHING but pissed the gnats off and more started coming! I live near the pool in my complex. What can I do? Can the gnats be caused by boxes of old mail, dirty clothes, etc.

  40. By Lynette on Oct 1, 2009

    I need product suggestions to kill these gnats

    I have such a big problem with gnats. they are everywhere in my house. I’m becoming really upset everytime I go into my kitchen they are everywhere. They are also in every room in my house. I don’t know what to do. My grandchildren can’t even come over cause two of them get bites everywhere cause of this I need help what do I do. Help me.

  44. By kathleen o'shea on Oct 25, 2009

    i have a real problem with gnats right now. Everywere we try to eat fruit we have a problem. You can’t set your grapes down for a minute. At times, earlier I thought we might have fruit flies, but I’m not sure what they look like but they were bigger than these gnats. I found a squashed grape that looked a little brown like it had been there awhile, but the gnats knew it because there were little gnat maggots feeding on it. Yuck. I have never used anything except wine or vinegar because of other birds and animals in the house. Alot drown but alot remain. Hopefully these green products will work.

  45. By Vickie on Oct 25, 2009

    I have these pesky little gnats or fruit flies I am not sure which they are, and I have tried everything to get rid of them, but they will not stay away. I do not have any fruit laying around and I keep a lid on my garbage can so where are they coming from? My husband says those bugs come because my kitchen is dirty, but my kitchen is spotless what is going on? We have used bleach down the drains, drain opener, vinegar and baking soda, so what is next.

  46. By Amanda on Oct 25, 2009

    I moved into my house about 2 months ago. I have a major gnat probem. No matter what I do they wont go away. I would love to test your product.

  47. By Lisa Sandoval on Oct 30, 2009

    We just purchased a home with a pool. The house appeared to be completely clean when we moved in last week but I am noticing gnats EVERYWHERE now. Especially outside. They are starting to drive me nuts. I had no idea that overwatering plants could help increase their population. I will pay better attention and water less – but not kill my plants of course. We seal our garbage and dishes are washed daily as dirtied. We have dogs and cats and I do not want them to be harmed in our quest to destroy the gnat. Thanks for the wonderful suggestions and opportunity to test your product.

  48. By Marianne Marriott on Nov 1, 2009

    Great info! I believe my infestation occurred due to overwatering. Would love to be a product tester for EcoSmart.

    I am loosing a battle with some kind of gnat right now.

    I have a large pet Parrot; so I’m familiar with standard precautions, and basic home-remedies used in keeping ahead of all the flying/crawling ‘Nasties’ out there. It is a never ending mission in my life.

    A couple of months ago I moved to Clear Lake. Perfect little mid-century modern house in the Riviera hills, with a spectacular view of the lake. ‘Be careful what you wish for.’

    The landscaping has a lot of bark ground-cover that is old and moldy, there is quite a bit of deferred maintenance in overgrown shrubs and grasses that are damp. And lets not forget the Lake – that’s a lot of standing water!

    I don’t know if they are Drain Gnats, Fungus Gnats, Fruit Gnats, OR EVERY-DARN-GNAT-ON-THE-PLANET Gnats. I just need to keep them out of the house, while I get my new space suitably policed-up and non-gnat-friendly. I need a Magic Door-Mat that will repel them from sneaking in by the thousands………

    But with a Parrot – toxicity is a real issue. Macaws are very sensitive to anything ‘chemical’.

  50. By Pat Kerschieter on Nov 2, 2009

    I have tried the vinegar also sticky “fly traps” all to no avail. These things are driving me crazy!!! (Crazier than I already am! lol) I need help and advise. We have moved all trash cans to the deck, I have cleaned the sink and drain, have swatted and cursed, HELP!!!! These things are a little bigger than “no see ‘em gnats” but they are everywhere, mostly in the kitchen area. I believe they are a kind of gnat, after seeing the other posts. Once again, HELP! I’m being invaded here!

  51. By april on Nov 3, 2009

    I have these creepy little things all over my kitchen, near the sink. I never knew they bred in drains… I don’t have any fruit out, dishes are washed as they’re used… I will try the vinegar/dish soap solution and hope that works. They’re multiplying daily, it’s gross.

  52. By Y. Wiggins on Nov 9, 2009

    After being bitten numerous times throughout my home by an unknown bugs/insects. I made an appointment to se a primary care doctor explaining I had an rash and or allergy but had no obvious medical effects and or symptoms other then itching and bites all over my body. My physician presribed a medication to treat my skin condition. I than took it upon myself to began numerous research and process of elimination tactics. I finally arrived at the reality that the problem I have encounterd are gnats. About a month ago I purchased a Aloe Vera plant. Which was probaly infested with these pest and the beginning of this terrible condition. Also, my husband loves often has purchased bananas that we do not refriderate. After noticing that the fruit began to darken by what seemed and problematicly were gnats pecking at the bananas. I have never encountered or been bothered with such a irritating problem. Please help. I would love to have the opportunity of participating and or becoming an EcoSmart Product Tester. I decided to go on line to find out how to get rid of and or stop such pest from invading my home and living conditions.

  53. By Sharlie Seiferd on Nov 10, 2009

    Just found your website and would love to test your EcoSmart product in our office building. Once we think the gnat problem is solved, they begin appearing again. Obviously, with so many different people in the building, it is difficult to control everyone’s area but we do have a rule about no food discarded in the trash cans in the cubicles/offices and no food uncovered in any work area. Generally speaking, we keep our building very clean and do have an exterminator service our building once a month. No chemicals are allowed inside the building, just traps etc. Any help you can offer would be appreciated. We are an ecco friendly company so your product would fit in nicely. I will try the vinegar and soap solution in the problem areas and see if that resolves the situation.

  54. By Angel Defevers on Nov 12, 2009

    I do animal rescues, and a few months ago, i had someone drop of a box of ginea pigs, of course when i got home and seen them, I took them right inside. this box came with more than a mess with the ginea pigs. now I have hundreds of little gnats flying around, i just can’t seem to get rid of them. I have tried the sticky strips, cleaning everything, drains floors walls. take the trash out every day after dinner, dishes done right after a meal. I tried the vigegar and soap along with vinegar and sugar, got some of them, but didn’t even put a dent in their population. I do have lots of animals, snakes, lizards, turtles, birds, dogs. So i need something that can be used around the animals. The hairspray thing didn’t work for me either, by the time it hit the spot the were setting, they were already gone. Please help. I would love to try anything you have.

    Over a week ago I notice a few fruit-flies in my kitchen and bathroom so I use a a flying spray bug to get rid of them. However, I then kept noticing more and more everyday since I first saw them. They are in my kitchen, bathroom, closet, living-room and bedrooms. Saw I started to look around my co-op to see where they are coming from and I see them on the inside of all the windows in my co-op. So I when crazy spray all the windows with flying insect spray. I when out and bought No-Pest Strips,and Indoor Flying Traps and have them hanging around my apartment. I don’t keep fruits around since I am not a fruit lover I don’t keep dishes in the sink, dirty cloths around,my co-op (apartment)is clean and all I have is a really small plant that does not require to be water that offend. The only other thing that I can think of is the maybe they could be coming from the apartment below me. I do see them around the bathroom windows at time. If the people below me are not clean people could the fruit-flies be coming from their apartment? And how could they make their way up to my apartment and what can I do to keep them from infesting my apartment?

    The gnat’s in my house are coming from our guinea pigs cage. She gets fresh veggies daily. I try to keep it clean and have been changing the cage often but they won’t leave. They are in swarms and will not die. I have fly sticky ribbons hanging up and sticky paper on the cage. It is winter so fogging the house is not an option.
    HELP!
