Bug
Unlike mosquitoes and flies, gnats are not major disease vectors – but they can be a persistent nuisance, especially indoors. These tiny flying insects often swarm around houseplants, drains, trash bins, and food prep areas. While most gnats don’t bite, their presence can be overwhelming in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Infestations are commonly found in damp soil, clogged drains, fermenting organic matter, and areas with poor ventilation.
Reproduction & Lifespan: Gnat populations grow rapidly in warm, humid environments. A single female can lay hundreds of eggs in moist organic material, with larvae hatching in just a few days. Adult gnats typically live for 7 to 10 days, but their fast reproductive cycle means infestations can escalate quickly. Without proper sanitation and treatment, gnats can persist and spread throughout the home. Early detection and targeted control are essential to eliminate breeding sites and prevent recurring swarms.
Common Columbus Species:
Gnats enter through open windows, doors, and gaps around screens or siding. Indoors, they breed in damp soil, clogged drains, trash bins, and food residue. Fungus gnats favor houseplants, fruit flies target produce, and drain flies thrive in organic buildup. Moisture and poor sanitation are the main triggers.
