How do I get rid of these nasty little nats that fly around in my kitchen?

Question

I had some fruits in my kitchen. Now I have these pesky little bugs flying around. their so hard to catch. I've heard of leaving a bowl of water out so they go in there. Is that a good way of catching? HELP!

Answer 1

Leave a glass of orange juice out.They will go in and drown.But ,only leave it out for a nite or you may attract more

Answer 2

I just had the same problem, what I did was take a bowl and put apple cider vinegar in it then cover tightly with plastic wrap, poke some holes in it then the crawl in but cant get out. You can also take a 2liter bottle cut down a few inches from the top, fill with vinegar and water about half way up. put the top back on upside down like a funnel. Also very important to put bleach down drains and let sit at least an hour before running water this will help keep them from breeding in the drains.

First off...it's "Gnat" not "Nats."

Secondly..."fruits" is not the plural of fruit unless you are speaking about individual fruits.

Third...."Their" is a possesive. What you meant to spell was "They're", the contraction for "They are". I'm sure is was a mistake you often do not make.

Someone with your intellegence would surely know to put the fruit in the refrigerator, or place it under a cheesecloth. This will prevent the flies from swarming to your cherries, apricots, and kiwi.

Try putting up a fly strip.

Answer 4

First off, I hope you just overlook some of the ugly comments from some of these people. I also get those bugs after fruit has ripened. I put the fruit in the fridge, or in a plastic bag, before the bugs show up. After you get rid of the fruit and clean up the kitchen really well, they miraculously dissappear. (Sometimes I wonder if their eggs are IN the fruit???)

Answer 5

try an old style fly ribbon. get it at a feed store. they work. and stay on top of the ripened fruit. too ripe, they come back.

Answer 6

well first GNAT is spelled with a g infront of it genius. but anyway, gnats like to go to the highest point of your body, thats why it seems like there always sworming your head. so if there really pissing you off, just raise your hand, then they'll go to your hand... how to kill them though, i have no clue. stop leaving your doors open and giving them time to come in.

Answer 7

maybe if you spell gnat right they'll go away
