Does it kill gnats? By gnats I mean the tiny 1/8" long black flying bugs from hell. The ones that form breeding clouds. (Also known as fungus gnats.)

I used it on these gnats that have occupied one of our floor plants and although it killed the all of the flies, the plant started to dwindle so you may want to consider an alternative means. Perhaps dropping a spider there but thats kind of cruel.

Tommy the truth is kind of both. Insects do run in mass when you spray. But those enveloped by the fog drop dead fairly quickly. If you start upwind so as you fog it has more loiter time over the grass/brush it kills a vast majority of them. But there are a few fast ones that seem to "outfly" the fog cloud. This stuff is not perfect, but it is the best I have found so far over the past 15 years.

I found that this stuff kills everything. A friend of mine that works for Terminix uses this same stuff and he says it will kill what ever allies you. It creates a barrier and won't let insects cross it.

It only kills the existing ones but it does not prevent them. I use it to kill the existing ones then I use talstar to prevent new ones

I do not think this will work on the bugs you listed. It does a great job on grubs, I used this early this season and no grubs and no animals digging up yard trying to get grubs. There are some products that specify which bugs it kills, you might try Spectacid it works for fleas, crickets, earwigs and ants. Read packaging as this works on many other bugs. Flys are harder to kill off as so quick to give birth, maybe some flying insect killer. I hope this helps and this product works great at our home.

I got a ton of maggots once when I put an animal-based protein powder into my composter. You can boil water and pour it on the maggots as you see them; that will kill many of them on contact. However, they are spread all throughout the compost, so there are a lot more you don't see. However, it's good to kill as many as you can so you don't get inundated with flies. Here's an idea I just thought of: Leave the lid of your bin open and the birds will be more than happy to take care of the maggots for you! I wish that had occurred to me back when I had the problem.

No, this unit only kills mosquitoes and a few other night flying small insects that are attracted to the light. This unit does not attract flies. That said, this device will literally clear a back yard of mosquitos after about 3 nights being on all night.

I have only used these with hydroponic system. I Still have to combat gnats so I doubt it would get rid of all insects.

Maybe not KILL but it'll certainly take down any flying insect so you can step on it. I think it destroys their wings then they're not going anywhere. I love it!

This will not attract them, but will hold them when they land. These glue boards are frequently used with a light device, which will attract some flying insects. I suggest that you do a search on what attracts black gnats.

Gnats and any other bugs that get stuck on the glue boards starve to death. Glue boards are a non-pesticide way of killing these flying bugs. But be aware glue boards will not probably not eliminate the bug problem. The glue boards catch only the adults. You have to locate the nest to eliminate the egg laying area. Usually this is where there is moisture such as the soil of an interior plant.

The dead bugs either stick to the killing screen, or drop to the little metal tray, below. It killed many gnats, the first day. I haven't heard any sound, as the unit is on my enclosed patio.

It may take a day or so to get rid of them if you have a large infestation. This gets into the roots of the plant. The gnats feed on the roots. Just make sure you put enough on the plants according to the size of the pot and you didn't miss a plant. Last time I saw a gnat I realized I had skipped a pot in my kitchen. Gnats just live a few days anyway and since they can't eat they won't be reproducing.

This is what I do for those fungus gnats. I grind up 1 Mosquito Dunk into a powder and mix it with the soil. It prohibits the larvae from being able to feed. The same way it prevents mosquito larvae from feeding, it seems to work well for me. I usually get a handful that hatch and then nothing. The dunks are available at Home Depot.

I'm not sure it works on gnats. I have used it on spider mites and white fly. It seems to work sporadically, even for the same type of plants (2 different hibiscus, for example). It may work on one and not the other eventhough i apply the same way. All my plants are indoors for the winter.

This stuff kills everything. I did not have creature alive after I set it off. Stink bugs, ants, spiders were all dead. These were set off in my kitchen and even insects in the upstairs bedrooms with the doors closed were dead.
