Get rid of the Gnat Gang

Gnats are relatively harmless but can be annoying and downright embarrassing when you have company.

While there are other ways to get rid of gnats, most of the things needed to get rid of gnats can be found in your home.

I prefer to stay away from pesticides because it can lead to other issues, especially if there are children in the house.

If you are interested in a simple solution to your problem, give this article a try.

Here are some simple steps to get rid of pesky gnats.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Large bottle of bleach
  • Apple Cider
  • 2 Old Coffee Mugs
  • Bottle of Windex
  1. Step 1

    Remove all garbage and foul smelling objects from home. Pour a cup of apple cider vinegar and set it in the infested area(gnats will drown themselves).

  2. Step 2

    Ensure that plants are not over watered. If they are remove them from the house until they dry out.

  3. Step 3

    Once when everything is clean, use Windex to spot kill the gnats.

  4. Step 4

    Pour a coffee mug of bleach down each drain before you go to sleep.

  5. Step 5

    Repeat every night for 2 weeks.
