    where are the gnats?Do you have plants?Are they fruit flies or gnats for sure? The safest way for control is place a bowl of al cider vinegar covered with saran wrap.Poke a few some holes in the top.If you do have plants they maybe fungus gnats which in this case you will have to re-pot them.

    Sure! Make sure to use a bottle with a wide mouth so that more gnats will be lured in. Poke holes in the lid to allow them access. Works great. Good luck!

    Yes, Cider vinegar works great to attract gnats. I use a mason jar for my gnat traps. I put the vinegar in the jar, place plastic wrap over opening and screw the o ring back on to hold the wrap. If you don't have a jar, use a glass and attach the plastic wrap to the top of the glass with a rubber band. Punch holes in the wrap and it will collect all your gnats.

    Perfectly safe! 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!
