How to get rid of gnats?

I live in a small trailer with my boyfriend, recently we have noticed a lot of gnats around. We got rid of any dirty dishes and trash from food but they are still around.

    If the gnats are hanging around the sink, they are laying eggs in the drain and real hot water will take care of the eggs.

    Some dish water with some vinegar or pickle juice in it will attract and drown the gnats.

    They lay eggs in plant soil too and letting the soil dry will harm the larvae and eggs.

    They lay their eggs in places where there's moisture.

    The source of the gnats are where they are laying eggs. They will keep hatching until the eggs are gone.

    All gnats do in their few days of life is lay eggs.

    1. Take everything out of your cabinets & clean the cabinets with bleach & hot water. Let that dry overnight.

    2. Hang flystrips, especially near lights, because they are drawn to them.
