Is this also good for gnats?

From my experience, I just noticed a difference in bugs flying around me. I am not certain if it was gnats or not, but I did notice less "activity" around me.

It should help. Citronella usually works the best, but you could try this. How are you planning to use it?

Yes it should repel gnats. It's especially great at repelling buffalo gnats also known as black flies. It's the only natural repellent that is as effective as DEET except it must be used more frequently. It helped me tremendous when I went hiking in Newfoundland as the black flies there were horrible and I was allergic to their venom. Any essential oil must be added to a carrier or base (e.g. witch hazel, alcohol) and you can add other oils to it such as lavender, peppermint and citronella.

I dont think so, if it does catch gnats its very little. Ive had it for almost 2 mos and i havent used the brush to to clean it yet. havent had to.

Not sure if it works on gnats as it is a fungicide. Has a pretty funky oder so use indoors is not a good idea.

I would say go for it, it won't hurt anything but I don't know if all gnats are the same.

I live in Minnesota and near a lake. I don't see mosquitoes when I'm using this but it doesn't work very well on gnats. They are tiny and there are so many. It cuts down on them. This is a good product. My daughter lives in Fairbanks Alaska and she swears by this product. They have many mosquitoes.

I don't know about this particular infestation, but I have used the product on my orchids, over several months, and they are thriving. The fungus gnats, my original concern, are well controlled.

I use these in my garage when over wintering my plants and they collect a lot of bugs. I find they work better if they are laid almost flat to the pot. When I had fungus gnats in my house plants I had to use a product like Bonide Houseplant Systemic Insect Control Granules (smells like chemicals). Gnats are really hard to kill off. Good luck.

gnats are easily trapped and die. Anything that flies into the lighted area seems to be trapped. I keep a can of fly spray, and when I empty the cage sometimes shoot a small blast into it if some of the various flying insects are still moving about. Most of the time they are all dead. I empty it out amout once a month.

Yes, and no! As Hersom states below, it will work if the gnat physically touches the diatomaceous earth powder. Therefore, if the gnat walks on the diatomaceous earth powder, it will kill them. My suggestion for gnats on houseplants- depending on the severity: 1) some gnats may be there due to wet conditions including poor drainage. See if you can withhold watering for a couple of days so that things can dry out a bit. 2) spread a layer of diatomaceous earth on the top of the soil. It does not need to be too thick. If you can get a layer on top of the plant soil and then avoid watering for a couple of days - that can help. 3) Check into the yellow sticky cards/paper and hang them around. I think this will work:

I bought this to pour a thin layer over my planted gardenia that had a slight gnat issue. Sand worked. I don't see why this would be an issue for your hamster. Maybe you should try contacting the company directly.

Absolutely....if you have gnats now pour vinegar down your drain then use Drain Care as directed and then monthly. It works well!!!!

The trap will work for gnats, but set it on a table, instead of the sticky pad cut a circle of white plastic (like a nice shopping bag) and put it in the bottom, and fill it with either soapy water or diluted apple cider vinegar.

Yes. The stuff is amazing. I used to use the original oil that Avon sales people sold and mix it with water in a pump spray bottle to spray on myself when going out to do lawn work or camping. However, my dog and I are both allergic to gnat bites and the vet said this spray which is not oily is safe for animals who like to groom themselves. This year, I spray it on my dog every day before he goes out to roll in the grass and so far, no bites of any kind. The stuff smells great, too.

I really have no idea. All I know is that I usually run ours on medium speed which produces a nice gentle breeze that keeps the gnats away from our food and drink and adds greatly to our comfort even at dusk on these hot summer evenings when the air gets still.

Don't know that. But I do know the stuff works very well. Make sure you use the amount in the directions to add with the right amount of water and spray it around good. It will work. You just have to spray again in a few days, but who cares. Works with Gnats and other bugs also.

it will work on the active ones to a degree but is a fairly week insecticide, your best bet is to get a granular systemic like Bonide Systemic granules, you apply that product to the soil it will control the gnats in the soil and the plant takes it up through the roots so when the gnats bite the plant they die as well.

Should be fine. I found it was even safe on gnats, since it killed nothing and repelled nothing.
