I am having issues with gnats, they are in my kitchen, living room and bathroom. We don't keep any food out and the food in cupboards are either in glass jars or plastic air tight containers. I hate to use sprays since I would have to scrub down everything after the bugs are gone. I've tried the apple cider vinegar trick but it only attracted a few, I think they were drinking! Any suggestions on getting rid of gnats?

I had a terrible gnat problem and the vinegar traps worked perfectly! Simply place a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or white vinegar, a few drops of dish soap, and a tablespoon of sugar in a bowl and stir. Set your bowl in an area where gnats are prevalent, such as your kitchen or bathroom. This took care of my problem in just a couple of days!
Hi Roxann, hope this helps you,
In a small bowl, mix a half cup of warm water plus two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, a tablespoon of sugar, and about six drops of liquid dish soap. Gnats will be lured in by the sugary mixture, but once they dip in for a drink, the sticky dish soap will trap them.
