How can i get rid of gnats safely?

Question

I keep my kitchen, very clean, change trash regularly, have no food lying about and I still can't get rid of the gnats they're driving us crazy,

Answer 1

Also try vinegar and dish soap in a juice glass, i just read to put plastic tied with a rubber band and poke holes in it..they get in and die. I guess they cant figure out how to get out if they dont drown themselves first. I am having this same problem at work right now. I put out the glasses and it does kill them but they are still here. I'm going to try the plastic and also clean out the p-trap. I tried drano it didn't work i guess. I have no food out so i dont know where these little buggers are coming from. They are driving me crazy!

Answer 2

Either coming from houseplants or your sink.

If from the plants, they are soil gnats living on organic matter. A dilute soap solution poured through the soil and allowed to sit about 10 minutes and then rinsed through should work.

If in the sink, pour a good cleaner down the sink.....PineSol for example, put in the stopper......and leave for a few hourse (due to intense smell) When you come back rinse with very hot water.

Promise you, Apple Cider Vinegar will do the trick. Pour a plastic cup and let it sit in the sink. My friend had really bad infestation, I think within two days and a few cups strategically placed in the trouble areas they were gone. **You wrote additional comments and said vinegar isn't working. Apple cider vinegar worked for us in about 2 days. Are you using only regular vinegar like the last comment or did you try apple cider vinegar? If that doesn't work over 2-3 days you should probably contact an exterminator.
