@@quanitathompson6994 girl u are so right I have a one yr old boy and I am so sick of these gnats coming in my kitchen they have taken over and me thinking ACV was gonna work I Baught hella bottles turns out that shi don’t work
I got the little apple things but I think the solution included is weak. I added ACV and my own dish detergent and it’s working pretty well. Also using plastic cups with ACV and dish detergent, covered with plastic wrap with little holes. The sticky fly tape seems to be working as well. I also cover my sink drains with clean rags and pour half strength bleach solution over the rags because those things lay eggs in your drains. I only remove the rags to use the sinks then re cover the drains. Your parents will continue to have a big problem though with all the plants dried flowers and fruit laying around. They need to clean up a bit.
@@itsmiame you can get everything at Walmart for a small price. Get some of those clear plastic cups in the aisle with paper plates and such. The small clear cups work well. Pour a half cup of apple cider vinegar in the cup and add just a few drops of dish detergent. Cover the cups with plastic wrap and put a rubber band around the plastic to keep a good seal. Punch a few small holes in the plastic with a fork. In a few days you will see many dead bugs. Also, the sticky tape fly traps are cheap and work well in areas of heavy flea infestation.
Don't forget they lay the eggs in the soil. Thanks for the tip about the drains. I have to remember that. Also, use Sevin on the plant leaves and soil. I would use powder for a 3 days, but do not get the powder on the leaves or they will burn the them. Use the spray on the leaves.
The raid spray does not work, it just coat the wings so they can't get up if the spray enough... waste of money, and the apple looking trap works but you need to keep refreshing liquid every 2 days for the best results. I ended up just using apple vinegar, suger and soap drop trick with it because finding refills wasn't to easy or cost a bit after a while.
No method is great, except one idea I tried. The little peroxide bottles at Walmart, it's like a dollar and change, they produce a very thin mist, buy one, toss the peroxide, put 8 drops of concentrated dish soap and water, shake it up well. Using hot water will speed up the mixing process. When you see them, spray them, they can't fly away, carry a dish rag or paper towel or whatever, you'll be making a mess every surface you spray on but you'll be killing tons of them, just wipe the spot and kill the fruit fly and clear the moisture. You can keep 98% of them dead doing this for 5 minutes each day. Also Isopropyl alcohol is extremely effective in this same way but it costs far more.
My experience fruit fly trap with the vinegar drops attracts more fly’s but you do catch many of them. The fly strip trap kind of sucks dont catch many, maybe in the long run but i dont want to keep a noticeable strip of glue around the house lol. Raid i think would be the best only because it kills instantly but like the other products they dont prevent them from reproducing
I have used those fly traps and don't work very well. The fly tape has worked very well compared. I don't konw, maybe it is wher you put them. Put them near your plants, soil is where they lay their eggs.
@@Jay_Rule your telling me lol yeah i have to use hand sanitizer to cut some of the glue off off my fingers. ive used some of my wife’s exfoliating face scrub on my hand sometimes and it surprisingly work better then regular soap even the gojo brand. Recently bought one of those handheld fly zappers, kind of looks like a tennis racket. Ive been getting a work out just swinging this thing around i catch about 10 in like a minute running inside then outside. But they some how reproduce the next day.
@@zito4116 Smokers are nice for outside. They work very well against mosquitoes. You just have to make sure you are surrounded by a couple of torches at a party. I just do not know how many torches you will need, and who has asthma. Still it is effective. The fog stuff, is like the bombing of your house. It is effective for certain bugs, depending on the stuff you use. It does work. It just does not work on the insect eggs. You just have to leave your house for a couple of hours and then come back and open up all windows for a certain amount of time to make sure you do not get poisoned. Always be cautious about those things.
You have to pull it to stretch it out. With time it will unwind itself. The bottom line is that it doesn't matter if it's curly or flat, it's just as effective.
The Fruit Fly trap does not really work very well. I have tried Sevin, because I have problems with nats. They will not die off for some reason. I am now spraying it for a week to see if they will all die off. I also leave a good amount of water in my kitchen sink in order to see if I killed them all. Raid does the trick, but I am not sure if I want to spray that ony my plants. The fruit flies, nats usually lay their eggs in the soil, so that is why you have them in your house. Don't buy outside soil, always buy pot soiler, located inside the buildings. Learned that the hard way.
I heard apple cider vinegar and liquid detergent work quite well. You can even add some fruit peels in there to attract more insects. The fly sticks are effective but look ugly when you invite people over lol.
@@barbaramay9288 Have you ever heard of hydroponics? Plants don't use soil for that. Also, there are two types of soils you can buy. For plants you want inside, buy the soil that is made for inside plants, which will most likely not have insect eggs. If you want to just plant plants outside, there is also soil for that or just use dirt from outside.
😅I had a family member who kept their house this way...what a coincidence because they had the same problems. As long as those plants and food are out, you will never get rid of them. Those dead plants needs to be gotten rid of, because fungus gnats live and thrive in the soil. The living plants needs to have the soil replaced and a fungus gnat trap placed in it. All food sources need to be covered at all times and fruit needs to be placed in the fridge. They love food that's about to rot. ALL drains should be covered when not in use. They breed in them and lay their eggs there. As for the bug zapper, it works best in a room without light, that way they are only drawn to that light source. If there is a TV, computer or a cell phone present, it won't work. The best products to use in a lit room are the fly ribbons. Put those above the TV, or above where you normally sit, and you will see a colony of gnats land on them. Hope this info helps!!
Well it was not the plants for me. It was the plant soil that I bought to fill the pots up. If it is outside plant soil, they usually come with insect eggs in the soil. One reason why there is inside potting soil, which has no insect eggs in it.
They live in the soil of your plants you can get some type of apple cider vinegar or something and spray on your plants or something like that and spray and the dirt and I'll kill them but you got to kill the things that are in their third or get new dirt
All of this is bullshit I lived in my apartment in NY for 26 years and never had any type of bugs, only in the summer fly get in because of opening window to get air which is normal and I buy those spray from hotshot and will kill them on contact or if I can get them that way I spray the whole house and go to do my errands or go to work, or go shopping whatever and in that day or in 3 days there dead and no more for good and that's it very simple, the I Also lived in Baltimore Maryland for 2 years and the only problem I had was ants in the summer and I buy those ant spray and boom they all be gone in that same day and no more problems so easy. Then I also lived in Florida for 2 years and no problem at all which I was surprised hahaha cause with all the hot temperature and stuff but nothing everything was wonderful 👌👌 And now I'm currently in Ohio AND WHAT THE HECK MEN🤦♀️ I moved to an apartment and everything was ok but then a leak came from above and then gnats came after that DAMN LEAK AND I AM SO PISSED OFF BECAUSE I NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. I HAVE TRUED THE VINEGAR NONSENSE AND ALL THAT DOES IS SOME GO IN AND SOME GO IN AND DIED BUT THEN THE REST ARE LIKE HIGH IN THE SMELL OF VINEGAR AND DON'T DIE AND KEEP FLYING AROUND AND KEEP BECOMING MORE, AND THEN THE WORST THEY ARE BITING ALL OVER THE SKIN AND IT HURTS. I HAVE BOUGHT EVERYTHING SPRAY OF HOTSHOT, 2 different type of ZEVO OR SOMETHING CALLED LIKE THAT, AND ANOTHER SPRAY WITHE THE SMELL OF ORANGE AND NONE HAS WORKED, IF ANYTHING IT CAUSE THEM TO RETALIATE COME BACK BITING EVEN MORE WHICH IS HORRIBLE 😤 and I've been also using the Raid ribbon and yes some have stock to it , BUT IT'S NOT THE SOLUTION CAUSE I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH IT FOR 2 DAMN MONTHS. I NEED SOMETHING THAT CAN KILL THOSE DAMN GNATS FOR GOOD. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THOSE GNATS DON'T DIE. I BROOM AND MOP THE FLOOR TWICE AND AT SOMETIMES THREE TIMES A DAY AND NOT TO MENTION I BE WIPING DOWN THE WALLS CAUSE I DON'T LIKE DUST AT ALL AND I CLEAN THE SINK AND DRY IT UP. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING WHY THESE DAMN GNATS ARE GOING ON. IT'S ANNOYING.
I felt that I brought a trap from Amazon they suck some I just turn all my lights off but I only see one or two but they are either from your drain or ac from the neighbors

2022 Fruit flies have literally evolved to know how to escape from fruit fly traps such as jars with small holes poked in plastic. Not kidding either.
Oh wow! Thank goodness I haven't had any issues yet...
I bet !
FACTS. I’m going crazy
I agree with this comment.
Yes they do i bought 4 them traps and they work but some gnatts can go as they chose
I used raid spray always for gnats. Works well but i dont like the fact that it sprays wet. They should make a fine misting nozzle
Hot Shot does some good misting :D
Thanks for checking out video. Would you kindly subscribe to help this channel reach 100K : )
Acv does not work idk where these gnats are coming from but they are driving me crazy every summer we have this issue.
What is ACV?
@@Jay_Rule apple cider vinegar
I just figured it out literally one second ago

Where did you get the little containers from? Yes, I told them to get rid of some of the plants because it's way too many and it attracts insects.

Texas is horrible when it comes to gnats
I've lived in Arlington TX for over a year and don't recall that issue. Do you live by a pond or lake?
@@Jay_Rule no I live in the city of San Antonio
How did you get your ribbon to stay so flat when I open mine It's all curled up and twisted
You have to pull it to stretch it out. With time it will unwind itself. The bottom line is that it doesn't matter if it's curly or flat, it's just as effective.

I hope it works wonders for you.
Thanks!!!😊
Welcome!
maybe it’s their way to tell you it’s time to move out
LMAO! Nah, my parents are good where they are at.
All the dead and dying plants bring aphids, knats and BAD LUCK!
I told my parents to get rid of some of the plants and stop leaving food and fruits outside but they are stubborn lol.
Outside soil for inside plants also have insect eggs.

Use BTI (Mosquito Bits, Mosquito dunks) it's a bacterial-based larvicide that's not harmful to humans.
Interesting but is it more expensive?
