Gnat Control & Elimination

Get rid of annoying gnats in your home. We identify the source, eliminate breeding sites, and stop these tiny pests for good.

Gnat Problems in Your Home

Gnats are tiny flying insects that seem to appear out of nowhere and multiply rapidly. While they don't bite or cause structural damage, they're incredibly annoying – swarming around your face, landing in your drinks, and hovering over your food.

At Matar Pest Control, we identify which type of gnat you have, locate breeding sources, and eliminate the problem at its source. Different gnats require different solutions – we provide the right one.

Common Types of Gnats

🍎 Fruit Flies

Tiny, tan with red eyes. Breed in overripe fruit, drains, and fermenting organic matter. Extremely common in kitchens. Can lay 500 eggs at once.

🚿 Drain Flies

Small, fuzzy, moth-like. Breed in drain slime, sewage, and organic buildup in pipes. Often seen near sinks, showers, and floor drains.

🪴 Fungus Gnats

Dark, mosquito-like. Breed in overwatered houseplant soil. Larvae feed on fungi and roots. Common around indoor plants.

🔬 Phorid Flies

Humpbacked appearance. Breed in decaying organic matter, drains, and even broken pipes. Can indicate plumbing issues.

⚠️ Signs of Gnat Infestation

  • Small flies hovering around kitchen, plants, or drains
  • Gnats attracted to your face, drinks, or food
  • Swarms appearing near windows or light sources
