Gnats can be killed using a diluted bleach solution or commercial drain cleaners, especially when targeting gnats breeding in drains.
Killing Gnats in Drains
One common breeding ground for gnats is in drains. Here’s how to effectively eliminate them:
- Bleach Solution: Mix a half cup of bleach with a full gallon of water.
- Application: Slowly pour this diluted mixture down the drain.
- Alternative: Use a commercial drain cleaner for the same effect.
- Ventilation: Ensure the room is well-ventilated after using bleach to avoid inhaling harmful fumes.
According to the provided reference, "Mix a half cup of bleach with a full gallon of water and slowly pour the diluted mixture down the drain to kill any gnats and potential larvae. Alternatively, you can use a commercial drain cleaner to produce the same results. Be sure to ventilate the room well after using bleach."
By targeting the drain, you’re addressing both adult gnats and their larvae, effectively breaking the breeding cycle.
