How Serious Are FLIES and Gnats?They are a nuisance pest since they do not cause major damage to homes and their life cycle is generally very short (about four weeks). However, gnats may threaten human health should they transport pathogens from their unsanitary development sites. Since fruit flies might contaminate food, and fungus gnats can harm potted plants, residents should eliminate potential breeding and developmental sites. Gnats will multiply and create an unclean environment.How Did I Get Gnats?Moisture and organic material attract gnats. Some species prefer the soil of houseplants, while others seek out decomposing food debris in garbage disposals or on damaged and over-ripe fruit. Any wetness in the home or unsanitary habits can draw them indoors. Once inside, gnats are able to take advantage of conditions for continuous development and reproduction.Prevention Tips
