These are some of the tricks for your question -how to get rid of Gnats? You can use any of the techniques to protect your home and your family from Gnats infestation.

1.      Sticky Traps: You can buy and place the sticky traps available at local nurseries and garden centers. Yellow sticky traps are cut into shorter squares and attached over the wooden skewers and flowerpots. Gnats got over the sticky traps and got stuck.

2.      Potato Chunks: You can also put raw potato chunks in the clay around the earthen pots. Potatoes attract fungus gnat larvae. This technique will trap the larvae and protects plant roots. After a couple of days, you can remove infested potato chunks and again put fresh pieces.

3.    Homemade Gnat Repellent Spray: A mix of dish soap, water, baking soda, and vinegar is filled into a spray bottle. The mixture should contain some drops of dish soap, a tablespoon of vinegar, and some baking soda with every cup of water. A few sprays of this mixture are a useful gnat repellent. The mixture is sprayed in areas where gnats are commonly sighted- like around plants, in the bathrooms, etc. The spray is very useful to get rid of Gnat infestation.

4.      BTI or Control: This is a naturally occurring mold toxic to gnat larvae. It is applied to your potted plants regularly for gnat control. It is non-toxic to humans and didnt cause any harm, and simply available in nurseries.

5.      Homemade Gnat Killer Spray: Make a mixture of half cup of water, half cup of isopropyl alcohol, and a teaspoon of dish wash. Fill this mixture in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture on the gnats directly to kill them.

6.      Apple Cider Vinegar Gnat Trap: A few tablespoons of cider vinegar, some drops of dish-wash soap, and a tablespoon of sugar mixed in a bowl. Now place the mixture in the area where gnats are commonly sighted -like the kitchen, bathroom, or indoor garden. Sugar and apple cider vinegar draws gnats. The dish soap catches the gnats and prompts them to drown.

7.      A Gnat Fruit Trap: Arrange rotting fruits in a small container covered with a perforated plastic wrap. Gnats got introduced to the rotten fruits. They enter the container and get baffled inside, and are unable to escape from the container.

8.      Diluted Bleach Down the Drains: You can also use bleach to get rid of them. When you sight them at any place like the kitchen sink or bathtub- a cup of diluted bleach poured down the channels is enough to kill enough Gnats hiding there.

9.      A candle trap: A candle should be installed in the candle stand, then fill the candle stand partially with water. Lit up the candles, also switch off all other lights in the room. The flame attracts the Gnats towards it. Once Gnats reach there, either they get burned or fall into the water and drown.

10. Professional pest control: The home remedies and commercial products are always not successful entirely. If you want to remove the dangerous gnat infestation from the house, hire a professional pest expert. You can also consult them on how to prevent Gnat infestation. The control company can help you to address the problem- by creating a customized treatment plan for the home.
