Does anyone know how to safely get rid of knats?

Answer 1

Don't let food sit out. At all.
If you have houseplants, put a drop or 2 of dish soap in the water. This will kill the larvae, but the flyers live for about 3 weeks & you have to keep doing it to make sure you got them all.

Answer 2

We always have them in our kitchen during summer. Here is some advice. Take a plastic water bottle. Cut the cone part off, open the lid, and set it to the side. Cut up some fruit and put a few of the pieces in the bottom of the bottle. then take the cone that you cut off earlier and tape it upside down in the bottle. The knats will be attracted to the fruit and fly into the "trap" and won't be able to get back out! It works best if you put it near you fruit/vegetable basket or sink, or wherever they are. If they are outside, light a citrinella candle each time you hang out outside.

Answer 3

First find out from where they are coming. Had the same problem a couple of weeks ago, they were everywhere.Discovered my daughter had left a banana in her bookbag. After that, just get one of those insect foggers from any hardware store, and follow the instructions to knat free living.
