Sticky gnat strips can be hung from plant branches to trap and kill flying pests. Handle with care—they stick to almost anything. If you have pets or children, place plants out of reach when using this method.

3. Avoid Over-Watering

Consistently wet soil encourages fungus and bacteria growth, which attracts gnats. Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings to reduce infestations and maintain healthy plant care.

Gnats are drawn to decaying leaves. Regularly remove any dead or dying foliage to limit their food source and keep infestations under control.
