Here’s the part nobody warns you about. Gnats breed in your drain. Seriously. That damp, gunky slime is their nursery.
Pour boiling water down the sink once a week. It kills the eggs and larvae before they can become flying little punks.
Or try a half-cup of baking soda followed by a cup of vinegar. Let it fizz for ten minutes, then flush with hot water. It’s like a science experiment, but for revenge.
17 Natural Ways to Keep Gnats Away
Did you check your plants?
Houseplants are notorious gnat hideouts. If you have overwatered soil, you’re basically running a gnat bed-and-breakfast.
Let the top two inches of soil dry out completely between waterings. Fungus gnats hate dry dirt the way I hate early morning alarms.
You can also sprinkle a layer of sand or small pebbles on top of the soil. It blocks the gnats from laying eggs. Fancy AND functional.
