Apple cider vinegar
Dish soap
A shallow bowl or container
Step-by-Step Guide to Implementing the Method
Gather the materials listed above.
Pour a small amount of apple cider vinegar into a shallow bowl or container.
Add a few drops of dish soap to the vinegar and gently mix.
Place the bowl in areas where gnats are most active, such as near fruit or trash.
Let the trap sit and check it periodically, emptying and refilling as necessary until the gnat problem is resolved.
Safety Precautions
While this method is safe and non-toxic, it’s always good to exercise caution. Keep the trap out of reach of children and pets, and ensure that the bowl is stable to avoid spills. Also, make sure to clean used bowls thoroughly before using them for food or drink.
Alternative Solutions and Comparisons
While my nana’s method is highly effective, there are other solutions you might consider. Commercial traps, insect sprays, and even electronic bug zappers can work, but they often come with higher costs and potential health risks. Nana’s method is cost-effective, non-toxic, and easy to deploy, making it an excellent first line of defense.
