5 Steps Mason Jar Gnat Trap

First one is going to be on how to get rid of gnats in your house

1. What you do is you take a mason jar,
2. Punch some holes in the top I think
3. I used a Phillips head screwdriver and you put some apple cider vinegar in the bottom and they will get in there and can't get out
4. If you can see that there's several dead that's in there
5. we didn't have that many in the house this particular time but we did have enough to get on our nerves
6. so I filled a couple of these up
7. and two days later I think it they're gone 

A lot of application can be applied in yard and kitchen> how to get rid of kitchen gnats

So I have found that if you add some orange juice or some kind of juice to the apple cider vinegar that it will increase its efficiency or effectiveness but the apple cider vinegar alone will work so good little trick there to get them I can see one still kicking around there but yeah that's what you do.

Gnat Traps Experience in FL

We live in FL, and have a cat that likes to go in and out of the screened porch, so we leave the sliding door open.

As a result, we see gnats in the house, primarily drawn to her litter box (which we clean twice a day, truly) and sometimes around the kitchen and bathroom.

Just wherever. We did find that citronella spray works wonders (but the kitty didn’t like it so much) and so does vanilla. We made our own homemade vanilla spray and spray it around the litter box and voila, no more gnats.

Also, very important to avoid any fruit on the counter even starting to get “overripe” or any dirty dishes in the sink. Even two small strawberry rinds in the disposal not immediately ground up will draw them.

With the vanilla spray and keeping the kitchen spotless, they have disappeared.

Vinegar Trap is worked for me and killed all gnats

THANK YOU! I’m SO glad I found this article. The vinegar trap idea is so far working great.

If you really want to “take it up a notch”, try this: take a strip of packing tape and place it around the outside of your bowl or jar, sticky side out.

When they land on the tape, some of the flies will get stuck. Covering the jar with tape (facing inward) rather than plastic wrap can help keep them from escaping as well.

If you don’t have AC vinegar, I found that just about any sweet liquid works. I tried a bit of coffee with cream and sugar attracted them, and they came to that pretty well, too.

Gnat Zappers or Gnat Trap, what does work?

Like most here, I have read all the solutions and tried some like the drain gel, etc. Nothing was working very well at all and they were making me crazy. 

I decided to order 2 small indoor bug zapers, plus an electrified fly swatter. LOL But by the time they arrived, I didn’t need to open them, as the problem was 98% resolved. I had put up fly tape in the kitchen and bathrooms and around the house, and this has worked. The one I put above the kitchen trash can was covered with them! 

It’s been a relief to not dread going in the kitchen and bathrooms!! All I can say is it’s been at least 3 weeks now, and although I see a few occasionally, the fly tape has knocked out the problem at my house. 

I’m guessing since they can’t return to reproduce, it breaks they cycle?? I still have my zappers though if I need them. Hope this helps someone, because I know how crazy these little flying gnats can make you!!

What is Best Fungus Gnat Trap That Really Work?

The technology of adhesive chemical is successfully used in home and garden tools as I post here three powerful adhesion-based traps to get rid of all types of knats and fungus nats as well as flying and crawling insects indoor and outdoor.
Whatever the material used and the shape taken most of them use the same role to kill pesky insects by catch mosquitoes and tiny insects and stick it to the surface is covered with an adhesive so can not escape. In addition to adhesives to be used in yellow enhances the ability to attract very tiny insects that continue buzz which you can't see it but gnats can see the yellow color clearly and go to him and here stuck on the adhesive patch and does not let it escape, or at least hold out for a long time until it is die and then fall in a pot full of vinegar or a mixture of water and vinegar or vegetable oil.
Most posted yellow cards here are cheap as low as 5 bucks and durable and may be used more than once as The Universal Insect cards are dual-colored (which is more effective) by flip it over and uncover the second sticky surface when the first side gets full.

Fly Stick 10.5" Traps Flies, Moths, Wasps, Gnats and other Flying Insects
The great choice for Supermarkets, Retail Outlets, Homes, Farms, Hospitals, Restaurants and others, no installation steps to start working, just keet it hanged near a light source and it will grab all home insects as flies, gnats, moths, wasps and many other flying insects or if you have a food that is contaminated with grain moth larvae, which eventually hatches and have moths flying around, it will catch them all.

The adhesive used in FLY STICK is VERY strong and never let any winged insect to fly again, small gnats will not bother you. "honey will do the same role but may be a cause of pollution"

Fly Stick is best solution for flies that resist any other household spray or vinegar solution as sand flies, but this stick help better and cannot be resisted.

Although yellow sticks is a very powerful, however you may use these sticky traps with pyrethrum and vegetable oil especially when you see occasional pesky gnat buzzing around, you may use clean yellow stick only to get rid of dirty hands after using such methods but take into account they are more powerful against fungus gnats so that cannot overrun or escape from traps.
Every customer bought them told us "These traps work well".

A little secret about yellow stick effectiveness:
Some people purchase Yellow sticks and get them frustrated about catch gnats forever and finally give up and use conventional methods, yellow sticks should be in a container half filled with water or vinegar, so that caught gnats cannot overrun after.

How to Make a Gnat Trap At Home simple as ABC

what's up guys but it's about here today I'm going to show you how to make a fruit fly and bumps that trap.
All you need is some apple cider vinegar some done this show more exiting to show and a jaw or to catch it with the trap made just cut a cup and a half.

Not all its kind of gnats is fallen next day, but there's quite a few in there.
so you don't have two cups you can make one with the jar just get a hammer or in my case a bowl of punch in a few holes like that.

Fill it up with about half an inch to an inch of apple cider vinegar depending on your size

How to DIY Homemade Gnat Trap?

Hi everybody and welcome to another easy Homemade gnat trap making and do it yourself like pro.

Today we're going to be showing you how to get rid of fruit flies, as we all know, fruit flies can be very difficult to get rid of once the investigation begins.
It's a tough task and really gnat traps are very helpful to get rid of them, but the truth of the matter, are you got to get rid of the gnat source first?
What's causing them to get there, but in some cases you can't do that and regardless of why you want to do this if you have an infestation is way too many to combat.



Waiting isn't an option so we're going to make a gnat trap or fruit fly trap.

Basic Steps:

1. First thing you're going to need is a cup: we're going to use a disposable cup because you don't want to, it's going to get kind of dirty, you don't want to use a couple, you're going to reuse so one of these disposable cups will do fine for us.
2. Secondly we need some bait: the bait we're going to use something it's fermenting, in this specific case we're going to give me a liquid, so i have two containers 
3. Here we've got some apple cider vinegar: it was just cider vinegar and general it doesn't really matter which one you use just, basically we're going to pour about an inch or so into the bottle 
4. After you've done that we take the dish soap: some dish soap into, but a teaspoon maybe a little more if you'd like not too much we don't want to put too much,
5. Tthe apple cider vinegar which is what they're drawn to and the reason is drawn to that is because apple cider vinegar cider is naturally fermenting so that fermentation is what they draw for they come specifically for that and what the soap does is the soap it makes them sink, basically when they come in to get the apple cider vinegar regularly, they could actually sit on the surface get their goods and go back out but armed with this soap in there they'll come in and try to get some and go straight to the bottom.
6. As an added plus we're going to do is we're going to put some and after shrink wrap on top of the cup tape around the edge and then poke some holes in the holes can actually be quite large because unlike some other methods you've seen it probably our goal is necessary to keep them in there because once they go on they're going to fly around hit the vinegar and then die, so that's not an issue but we put that cover in there to make sure that they can't just fly right out accidentally.

I've noticed before that we had had that issue but on this is very quiet the killer it's something that I was surprised to see how well it worked I’m going to show you guys the results have actually put one of these cups network and I've got a killing field to show you and I'll cut to that
so here's the cup i had done from work.

As you can see I've got the saran wrap around it some tape around the rim there and the holes that poke through actually use a sharpie to poke these holes through its wide enough that they can go in but these Few Fighter kind of dumb they go and just go around the circle and then eventually
they hit the water and the die

So what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to I’m going to cut this shrink wrap out and we're going to pour the contents of it onto this tissue paper have you're going to be kind of nasty so hopefully i guess that as the effect actually out of the shower right now so move this back a bit you know I’ll pick the camera show you impertinent just to see the results they just they go straight to it they love the smell of whatever it is fermentation

I guess what I've got have over a hundred and they're dead from the instant that we put this in the
numbers drastically decreased it's very effective and not a big mess there's some on the edge they're all dead

I'm actually had three two more of these cups at work on the counter and tables
and each one of them had just about this much so it's very effective in a
workplace environment stuff to get rid of the source because every day you have
your lunch and you know an apple core in the garbage needs to fly
