We are getting infested with gnats in our house. How do we get rid of them fast and inexpensively?
You can fix nettings on the windows and main opening doors which can prevent gnats or mosquitos. The other alternative is to fumigate the house every day to clear up and sanitise.
If this is only a periodic thing then you can use the fumigation method , if not using netting is a fully guaranteed method.
Clean up the living area where the gnats are hanging around. This is usually the kitchen .Take away all garbage, clean the sink disposal, and throw away any food residue.
Spray the counters with a cleaner that contains bleach to discourage gnats. Dry off the counters with paper towels.
Pour a cup of ammonia down your sink drains and disposal to coat the inside. Gnats inside the drains will quickly die.
Mix together equal parts apple cider vinegar and dish detergent.
Pour the mixture into small dishes or cups and set them out in the areas where gnats congregate. The gnats will be attracted to the sweetness of the vinegar but will get caught and die in the dish soap.
Keep trash cans covered at all times, and empty them every night.
Leave your compost buckets outside. Gnats love vegetables and fruits.
Avoid over watering your plants. Soggy soil attracts gnats
