Tiny flying insects are colloquially known as gnats, even when they’re quite different in appearance and habit. However, they all cause the same kind of annoyance and can spread bacteria from areas like the bathroom to food sitting out on the counters or table. Dealing with gnats doesn’t have to involve buying specific pesticides or traps from the store. There are plenty of homemade traps and slow-acting solutions to get rid of all types of gnats for good. Particularly intense infestations most likely deserve commercial traps for immediate help and long-term changes to keep the insects from returning.
