The saying “You’ll catch more flies with honey than vinegar”This metaphor is better for human interactions than the sage advice on pest control — at least it’s a metaphor that gnats love vinegar.
In fact, apple cider vinegar can be used to make homemade anti-gnat recipes. One popular way to get rid of gnats is to set up bowls of apple cider vinegar all around your home. The vinegar attracts gnats, who try to drink it. However, they drown in the bowls. Mixing dish detergent and baking soda with apple cider vinegar can make it so that any gnats who drink the liquid are killed. It is important to keep gnats out of your home by checking potted plants for mold and quickly throwing away rotting fruits and trash.
The outside gnat problem is more difficult. Citronella candles may repel gnats. Low-pressure sodium lighting can be used to replace all outdoor lighting. This emits an orange glow that repels gnats. You can keep unwanted insects off your decks and porches with fine mesh fiberglass screens.
You can’t cover the entire planet with screens. You will eventually have to confront gnats outside, in an environment you can’t control. Then, you can turn to a liquid pain reliever.
