Has anyone had good luck getting rid of gnats with this?

This product will kill, deter and repel flying insects, including mosquitoes, and various types of flies; however, its effects are temporary in most cases. Overall, I have had excellent results with the unit and the insecticide. Typically, I apply the fogging insecticide about 20 to 30 minutes before an outdoor gathering; and, mosquitoes are far reduced for several hours. I've also managed to virtually eliminate a colony of white flies that were destroying some holly bushes in my back yard. The key thing to remember is that this is intended as a temporary deterrent; not a method of permanent eradication of all insects.

Yes!! I had zillions of those black gnats that had spread to a bunch of my potted plants. I tried that yellow sticky paper and the gnats LOVED it. I don't feel good about killing anything, but these guys had taken over my apartment. I fought back. I had the yellow sricky in all the offended pots for about a day and they were COVERED, about two weeks the gnats were gone. They never came back. :-)

This has not worked for me. I have used it around my bird feeders and around my (Koi) pond but I have not found it has done a thing. I tried both the spray and the granules but neither was effective.

gnats are easily trapped and die. Anything that flies into the lighted area seems to be trapped. I keep a can of fly spray, and when I empty the cage sometimes shoot a small blast into it if some of the various flying insects are still moving about. Most of the time they are all dead. I empty it out amout once a month.

I dont see any gnats in my traps. Just flys. A bug zapper might work. If your have problems inside the house i use a Fly Web Fly Trap. Pricey, but it work on gnats, fruit flies, and fly's.

we have had no problems with bugs so I would say yes. It is a tight seal. I use a trash bag and I also clean out the can once a week. If needed you could spray the inside with bug spray but I personally do not like that stuff in my house so if you do spray...spray very lightly around the rim. Also, I believe gnats are attracted to fruit and food. I do not let that sit in can. Hope this helps.

From my experience, I just noticed a difference in bugs flying around me. I am not certain if it was gnats or not, but I did notice less "activity" around me.

This is just the tool for dispensing a fog. If the insect repellant you put in this unit will work for gnats you should be in business! I use one for skeeters. Took a bit of looking to find out what worked best. It smokes and sends out a nice fog. Find some bug juice that suits your needs and you will be happy.

While they survived it seemed to help quite a bit with ours. We had gnats and flies that were obnoxious. But every time I have had issues with them. Got tired of dealing with it. Really like them but I don't know why but can't keep them alive.

the GE powder smothers them, you must continue to use it as directed. It takes weeks to get rid if them. I also bought the mattress and box spring zippered covers and used bed bug cup traps, to put the legs of the bed in the cups filled with the GE powder. the bug sprays only make them run to other areas of the house. I also used the 91% alcocol that I bought at walmart and put in a spray bottle. this will kill them on direct contact. It took me almost 5 weeks to get rid of them. I also vacuumed the rugs in the infested room daily.

Should be fine. I found it was even safe on gnats, since it killed nothing and repelled nothing.

Yes it can. That's the whole reason I bought it. It's safe because it only stops the gnats from reproducing.

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 seems to work best on soft-skinned "bugs" like spiders so I would think it work well for gnats...but couldn't say for sure, never tried...

I use mine dry, just sprinkle around the entire top of the soil and water in. This is the only thing that I have found that gets rid of the pesky gnats. I tried all the natural options, repotting and other chemical options and they didn't work. I have heard that the gnats lay their eggs on the roots of the plant. I am not sure how often to use. The bugs are usually gone after one application. If you still see some bugs in a couple of weeks, I would reapply.

The dead bugs either stick to the killing screen, or drop to the little metal tray, below. It killed many gnats, the first day. I haven't heard any sound, as the unit is on my enclosed patio.

Yes. I use baits and gel. Gets rid of all of them. Dont use spray posons ,it keeps them away. You want them to come and take the bait.
