Gnats are drawn indoors by moisture, food residue, and organic material. So if you’re finding a lot of gnats in your house, it’s likely they’ve found something they like — such as overwatered houseplants, uncovered fruit, rotting produce in trash, or clogged drains.
Taking simple steps like regularly emptying trash cans, wiping counters, and letting plant soil dry out can help reduce the numbers. For more detailed information, including how to check for larvae and the various gnat treatment options, see our page on how to get rid of fungus gnats.
These small flies breed fast, so even a few can turn into a noticeable swarm in a matter of days. If your house is still full of gnats despite cleaning, there could be a hidden breeding source, like a leak or slow drain. Our fly control technicians can help identify the source and treat the infestation.
