Gnats

Gnats
Commonly found in
  • HOME
  • FOOD SERVICE (Restaurants & Bars)
  • HOSPITALITY (Hotels & Resorts)
  • F&B PROCESSING COMPANIES
  • AGRICULTURE (Raw Materials, Fruits and Vegetables, Livestock )

Moisture and organic material attract gnats. Some species prefer the soil of houseplants, while others seek out decomposing food debris in garbage disposals or on damaged and over-ripe fruit. Any wetness or unsanitary habits could draw them indoors and once inside, gnats are able to take advantage of conditions that are favorable for continuous development and reproduction.

Gnats are a nuisance since they do not cause major damage to homes. However, gnats may threaten human health should they transport pathogens from their unsanitary development sites.
