Keeping Out Gnats
Gnats are slender insects, with lengthy legs and antennae. They are typically identified when encountered flying in swarms. They are attracted to humidity, and are most activate during the summer. Gnats often enter the home searching for food. They can gain entrance when brought inside on store products, or plants with fertile soil. Gnats reproduce quickly, so they can rapidly become a major nuisance.
Gnats are not dangerous, although some species do bite humans. They generally feed on plants and soil, but some feed on other insects and blood. Eliminating water sources will help to prevent them from laying eggs.
Gnats are attracted to stagnant water and moist soil. Reducing the amount of water in your garden will help dry the soil and prevent larvae from fully developing.
