Things You'll Need:
- Insectalite Fly Trap
- Pyrethrin spray or aerosol
- Yellow sticky traps
-
Step 1
Purchase an 18-watt Insectalite Fly Trap to kill fungus gnats (see link in Resources). This trap uses ultraviolet light and pheromones to attract these pests.
-
Step 2
Use a pyrethrin spray or aerosol to knock down and kill fungus gnats. Make sure the label states the product is for "gnats." One example of a product you can use is Garden Safe All Natural Houseplant & Garden Insect Killer (see link in Resources).

Step 3
Use yellow sticky traps to monitor and kill fungus gnats in your home. You can lay these non-toxic traps across potting soil. Or, you can hang them up to catch even more pests besides fungus gnats. One example of a yellow sticky trap can be found at planetnatural.com (see link in Resources). Or, you can make your own (see link in Resources).
