How to get rid of indoor gnats?
Question:I went on a business trip and forgot to take out the trash before I left! What is the easiest way to get rid of these little buggers flying around?
Answers:
Pour 1/2" of cider vinegar in a bowl. Add a couple drops of unscented dish liquid to it. In a couple hours you will see many drown gnats.
They are fruit flies. When the garbage decomposed, the flies were attracted.
Empty the container. Wash with ammonia and water and air dry outside.
For the next week store all produce in the refrigerator. With nothing to draw them, they will go away.
Neem oil, a little dish detergent and water, works great.
Put up lots of fly strips around your house. It takes time to get rid of them, but it's well worth it and you would know!
Get a Venus Fly Trap!!
I got one to share with my daughters and we haven't had flies or gnats in the house since!!
Search online for Venus Fly Trap, and you will find some good deals.
You could either fog your house with some bombs or use an aerosal flying insect killer. The fogger I would think would be more long lasting and the aerosal would probably be just a quick fix.
