Gnats are attracted to moist environments, decaying organic matter, and food sources such as overripe fruit, garbage, and standing water. They often breed in damp areas like bathrooms or kitchens.

While gnats are not typically harmful to humans, they can be an annoying nuisance, especially in large numbers. They may also contaminate food and spread bacteria from surfaces they land on.

Common signs of a gnat infestation include the presence of swarms around lights, windows, or trash bins. You might also see small flying insects near overripe fruit or in damp areas like sinks and drains.

To eliminate gnats, clean food and moisture sources, use gnat traps, and eliminate breeding areas like clogged drains or overripe fruit. Professional pest control may be necessary for larger infestations.

DIY methods, such as using apple cider vinegar traps or spraying essential oils like peppermint or eucalyptus, can be effective for small infestations. However, professional pest control is often necessary for severe or persistent problems.

The time it takes to eliminate a gnat infestation depends on the severity. Simple treatments may take a few hours, while more persistent infestations may require follow-up treatments. Our same-day services aim for immediate relief.
