Does this product work on gnats and fruit flies too? We have a big problem with them in my area in the summer

Yes. The mesh size of the nets is small enough to trap them. A trouble light fitted with a black light bulb, can be hung off the back of your fan to attract them. Mosquitoes aren't that attracted to black lights.

If you mean 'gnats,' those are fruit flies. We hang a fly-paper strip nearby and it seems to get most of them. Also, when you dump the Norpro into your compost pile, make sure you wash it well before taking back into the house. We hose it down and let it dry before bringing it back in.

I haven't had a problem with fruit flies. However, I use them for potatoes and onions which I think do no tend to attract these critters.

We had some fruit flies at first but we made a trap and keep it next to the bucket. After about a week - no more flies. Just take a container with a lid, poke a small hole in the lid, put 1 tsp of honey and 1/8 cup of cider vinegar in the container. Put the container (I use a jelly jar) close to the bucket. Or get a commercial trap - Gardens Alive sells one.

Actually doesnt work at all with fleas nor mosquitoes and basically flying objects. For these a recommend another type of repellent or device. It works perfect for roaches,mice,bugs,spiders. Really effective.

I use these in my portable greenhouse and wow they fill up quick with black flies and knats.I also use the fly strips and they work great.I just don't use anything like that outside.The best stuff for outside is yard guard.It is a spray and I use it in the bushes and trees that all bugs hide in.

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. :-)

I never had a problem with gnats before purchasing this soil. When I opened the bag, I thought gnats might fly out based on what other people had to say about it, but nothing of the sort happened. It wasn't until I used it and watered it that gnats started hatching from eggs contained in the soil. So be prepared for this.

Yes, it worked perfectly for us with that problem. Just follow the directions. Very easy! Takes about 2 weeks for existing flies to die, and no new ones come back if you follow directions.

I live in Minnesota and near a lake. I don't see mosquitoes when I'm using this but it doesn't work very well on gnats. They are tiny and there are so many. It cuts down on them. This is a good product. My daughter lives in Fairbanks Alaska and she swears by this product. They have many mosquitoes.

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.

Not sure if it works on gnats as it is a fungicide. Has a pretty funky oder so use indoors is not a good idea.

Hi, Kristen. So far mine has not caught any gnats, it catches a lot of flies though. Works great, and is put together good to. For the gnats, I suggest, those sticky traps. I have used them to, and they are great. They catch everything, that flies. I got them from Amazon to. Have two in my back yard. Dolores

That was one of my main problems. This product seems to do the trick. I have them set up around my houseplants and haven't seen any gnats since.

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.

I have not had a problem with Orange Guard attracting fruit flies, and it certainly would kill them on contact. Put a some water in a small container and add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and a couple drops of hand-washing dish detergent. The fruit flies will go there and get stuck (and die) because of the soap--after they are attracted to the vinegar. Spray any stray ones with the Orange Guard. I keep it handy inside and out all of the time.
