Does it work on gnats?

I do not see any reason it would not, but have not used it for that purpose.

Spectrcide does not work on Knats..which usually come from open trash cans.Carefully spraying trash cans with malathion will end the problem.

Actually, the little devils are a terror. I borough some potted plants in from the greenhouse and with in a week or so...they had exploded! if, your gnats are inside on your plants, change and re-pot your plants new pots and all, wash the plant it's self with an insecticide soap, leave them to their self, as you will need to watch and re spray again, till your sure that you have captured the little ones. As for your question...Spectracide Triazcide is a stronger chemical for out door use, lawns and scrubs...I used it for my entire back gardens, NOTE keep children, frogs, fish from exposure. A very fine mist with an extended wand so that you can get upper and lower leaves, kills, molds, grubs, ants, just about everything that crawls, again as this needs several applications, as the bugs are happy making new ones, I only needed 2 applications, Also, I had a brown spot and kept growing, no animals either, I sprayed a very fine mist on the spot and within a week or so, it is gone and not returned. a fungus? I assume. Hope this helps you, any questions just ask. Brenda

I'm not sure if there are gnats in the trap....The trap right now has fleas and 3 flies...we don't get a lot of gnats inside our home. But I recommend getting this. I put it in the living room and it doubles as a night light, then I move it to our bedroom during the day. We have had it for a week and a half. The light burnt out last night because we leave it plugged in all the time. But it is a easy fix...its just a standard night light bulb. You should get the refill pads also (set of 3 I think) the trap comes with one extra.

It will probably kill gnats if they get trap. So far, I caught 2 gnats since I bought it. It is a waste of money for me.

I used it on these gnats that have occupied one of our floor plants and although it killed the all of the flies, the plant started to dwindle so you may want to consider an alternative means. Perhaps dropping a spider there but thats kind of cruel.

Yes it wil work for many types of insects. I sugest using taures it works much better. Good luck.

Yes. We use it to repel gnats and mosquitoes. Unless we're headed into tick territory it's all we use.

I think so. Unless they're verrry sneaky. I think you're talking about gnats. It protected me from them!

Not sure about gnats, I found a lot of Moths and small bugs, not sure if they were gnats!

I wouldn't consider them the same. A fruit fly will have a reddish brown body and eat fruit only. When I think of gnats they tend to dine on blood. The bait it tailored for the fruit fly, so I can't say for sure if it would work against other bugs. The bait I used was cider vinegar with soap.

It worked. I used it on yellow jackets, wasps, carpenter bees, and carpenter ants. Killed 'em dead, though not instantly. I find a 2-5 minute delay from spray to dead. You do have to spray in on the target insect, though.

I found this product to be VERY effective. No more *new* gnats after 2 weeks. One tip I found online to be helpful is to put a small dish or saucer of apple cider vinegar near the infested plants. Believe it or not, the gnats are attracted to the vinegar and they drown/die in it. I would really hesitate to put a dish of sugar water out. Here in FL, at least, it would only attract more and different pests.

Yes it will. I have had a real problem with fungus gnats in my plants from some new plants I brought into the house. I had this thin on, plugged in, for over a week straight. It works great. One thing...my Chihuahua hates it. Poor thing startles and runs when a gnat gets zapped. LOL

I had the same problem. The gnats ignored them. Then I went online and read that you can put out a bowl of vinegar near the strip and it will attract them. I put the strip right on top of the bowl. I also put them near the plants. It took a while, but I finally got rid of them. Hope that helps.

It does a good job of attracting all flying insect. I would say it does get gnats, but perhaps not all of them.

I've only used it on flying insects (wasps, mostly.) It is practically instantaneous with them. My guess is it's worth the try with fleas-you'll know quickly if it works or not, and if not, you'll have it around for other pests when needed.

I'm not an expert on insects, but I believe that Terro will not work on gnats (which bite to get blood and do not feed on fruits and vegetable. Google gnat control and perhaps you will find a home remedy solution.

I found it very effective, I used it in my 5' X 20' worm bin. It did the job on the gnats, however it also killed about half the red wiggler worms in the bin before it went inert. Don
