Here is the best way to get rid of gnats/fruit flies in the home https://www.homeroad.net/2015/10/a-fruit-fly-trap-that-works.html
Hey Dana! I like to use a small glass of wine (the cheapest I can find) and about a tablespoon of dish soap. I place the glass near the sink or trash can, and overnight you will capture so many of those bad boys! Hope this helps!
all of these work but they are attracted to light and white. So when I do see them i just put water in a solo cup with the white lining and set it up on the shelf in a window.
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!
