GNAT FLY INFORMATION & FACTS

The gnat is a long-legged insect that can grow anywhere from 1 to 13 mm. Gnat is a general term used to describe an array of small winged insects in the fly family. A gnat can be black, grey, brown, or yellow in colour and they are generally weak fliers.

Depending on the species of gnat fly, some are non-biters while others bite and feed on blood, other insects or plants. Fungus gnats are the most common gnat fly found indoors. Adult fungus gnats feed on a variety of plants, while fungus gnat larvae feed mostly on fungi, plant roots or other plant matter.

Female gnats can lay up to 500 eggs in a lifetime and depend on the presence of moisture, such as that found in moist soil, to help their offspring grow.

GNAT FLY INFESTATION CONTROL & REMOVAL

To make your home less attractive to the gnat fly, practice proper gnat control indoors. Get rid of spoiled food right away and store all produce in sealed containers or the refrigerator. Don’t leave dirty dishes lying around. Make sure trash stored in garbage bins are covered with a secure lid. Avoid overwatering indoor plants.

I want to thank Sarah! She really did a amazing inspection! I had a issue with mice. Sarah cover the inside and outside taking care of holes/gaps above the front and back doors. attics and garage. And has a very caring attitude towards her clients! I have know about Environmental Pest control for many years as they looked after issues with a school board I worked for.

We just had a fall treatment done at our country property. We never hesitate to call this company to protect us from ladybugs, cluster flies and more. You can count on them for punctuality, professionalism and thoroughness. Shout out to Cody who went above and beyond today: on his own accord, he brought our garbage/recycling bins to our garage door from the road and was able to retrieve a helium balloon that had floated up to the top of our cathedral ceiling. We are seniors, so these gestures of kindness were most appreciated. Highly recommend!

I cannot rate this company high enough. I first talked with Thomas on the phone. He was so polite and patient with this 79 year old lady animal advocate. He talked me through everything and I made my choice of the service I desired. I got an appointment the next day. Craig was right on time and he went through everything again and made sure I understood the whole procedure. I feel I got a very fair price for the work done. Do not hesitate to call Environmental Pest Control if you need help with wasps as I did!

I recently had the bait boxes refilled to avoid having mice move into my house as the weather turns colder. Mike and Jake arrived at the appointed time. Both gentlemen were polite, friendly and very professional. When they left, I contacted Kassandra to arrange payment. She was lovely, pleasant and polite, a pleasure to speak with. I have used the services of this company for years and have always been pleased.
