Gnat Control in Boise, ID | Get Rid of Gnats for Good

Say Goodbye to Pesky Gnats — Professional Gnat Extermination & Prevention in Boise and Surrounding Areas

What Are Gnats?

Gnats are small, flying insects that are often mistaken for fruit flies or mosquitoes. While they may seem harmless, gnats can become a serious nuisance in homes and businesses across Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Eagle, and beyond. There are several types of gnats, including fungus gnats, drain flies, and biting midges. Depending on the species, they may be attracted to moisture, decaying organic material, or overwatered plants.

Why Are There Gnats in My House or Business?

Gnats thrive in warm, moist environments, making kitchens, bathrooms, drains, and houseplants ideal breeding grounds. Common causes include:

  • Overwatered indoor plants (fungus gnats)

  • Organic buildup in sink drains (drain flies)

  • Rotten fruit or food waste

  • Leaky plumbing or excessive humidity

Are Gnats Harmful?

While most gnats are more annoying than dangerous, some can bite and cause irritation. Drain flies and fungus gnats can contaminate food or surfaces, especially in commercial kitchens and restaurants. A gnat infestation can also hurt your business reputation if not addressed quickly and professionally.

DIY Gnat Control Tips

Before calling in the pros, here are a few DIY gnat control methods you can try:

  • Remove standing water and improve ventilation

  • Let soil dry out between plant waterings

  • Use apple cider vinegar traps to attract and kill adult gnats

  • Clean sink drains with a baking soda and vinegar mixture

  • Seal food tightly and take out the trash frequently

These methods may help reduce gnat populations, but they often fail to eliminate the root cause — especially in larger or recurring infestations.
