Gnats are obsessed with anything that’s even remotely organic and damp. Overripe fruit? That’s a five-star gnat hotel.
Check your bananas. Check your potatoes. If that onion has a soft spot, it’s a gnat rave waiting to happen.
Throw out any fruit that looks like it’s starting a second life. I’m serious. One spotted banana can spawn an entire air force.
The trash can is a major suspect.
When’s the last time you emptied your kitchen bin? If you’re saying “uhhh” right now, that’s your problem.
Gnats love rotting scraps. Even a tiny piece of apple peel under the lid is like a “Vacancy” sign for them.
Take the trash out daily if you have to. Yes, even if it’s not full. It feels wasteful, but your sanity is worth more than a half-empty bag.
