- check out this easy to make gnat trap.
After you use a fresh banana, give it a few days to start smelling ripe. Water melon, peaches, or other fruits make a great bait.
let me know what you think and if you found ways to improve on this idea.
Here is an interesting link on Amazon of Fruit Fly Traps, you could design yours to be the same . goo.gl/RUhhTW

Sold me with the flicking them to their death part; such a perfect bonus feature to help release the anger they've built up in me!!! Thank you very much!
Oh my, I am so mad with them I'll do the same thing, even harder I might break the plastic. Thank you, I'll do it now :)
😂🤣😂🤣
lmao man these things have made me so paranoid
Precious little hands helping you ❤️
About to try they flying around like they pay rent
😂😂
Lmmfao 😂😂😂😂
30 GNATS \ FRUIT FLEAS IN AN HOUR!!! We have a baby and I made him some smoothie. By the time I was done feeding him there were so many of these on the peels over my counter that I was frustrated and started looking on internet for solutions and stumbled on this. I didnt even had fruits so just picked some thrown away peels from my trash-can to do this. In an hour there are 30+ in this! You are a life saver... thanks a ton!!!
I tried a few of these traps but this one works absolutely the best I regularly clean out the water, put in fresh fruit and the next day there are 100 or more dead gnats in the water. Thanks for your suggestion.
love the little hands :)
Omg ok, so i tried every recipe and... this is the most succesfull
Awwwwwwww those little helping hands so cute!!!
And so quite and well behaved! 😛
Very Sweet😊 Thank-you Kindly😊 Bless You and Your Beautiful Family🤗
THIS IS THE ONLY TRAP DO NOT WASTE TIME OR MONEY WITH ANY OTHER TRAPS
Am definitely going to give this a try! Thanks for the video info!
This seems to work well for both gnats and fruit flies. (I’m pretty sure the ones in your video are actually fruit flies.) The reason for the soap is that it breaks the surface tension on the water, so the little devils sink way faster. Without it they can sometimes actually walk on water for a short while. Glad I watched this though-it let me understand I can use just about any size and shape of container (although a transparent one makes it very satisfying when you see the little pests sinking). I’m going to watch as many videos as I can about this, will add another comment if I find any whiz-bang tips.
Thank you so much for sharing, I am going to try it.
Awesome! Also,,,,instead of water,,,, you can also use regular vinegar ,,or ACV.....to enhance the sweet smell to attract the fruit flies. (With dish soap).
Great tip!
What a great project. Your tutorial gave me ASMR tingles. I love it.
😂 same
I saw this video a couple of weeks ago and it works great. Way better than the other concoction I've been trying. Great video. 1st two weeks at least 50 gnats. Didn't think I had that many flying around my house.
I get a infestation usually once or twice a year, most likely caused by some forgotten potato or onion in the back of some dark drawer or lazy Susan. My sis taught me to put out saucers of just water mixed with dish soap and nothing else (no plastic wrap). Even just doing that I would find 3, 4, even 5 dead flies in each little cup every few days so this technique must work great! I've noticed in the last week or so that I've got a light infestation so I've just set up your "fruit fly hotel recipe" in the kitchen lol! I'm out of plastic wrap so I had to settle with aluminum foil, hopefully it will work just as well. i"ll update in the next few days.
The soap reduces the surface tension of water, so they drown instead of being able to float/"sit" on the water.

They could have a bubble bath? 😂😂😂
Works really well thank you very much
I just set it up and caught my first one!! Got a million to go!! I used the peel also to last longer and give of gases. I also use vinegar since that also attracts them in a cup alone with the soap.
Thank you, i saw other similar traps but they all needed apple cider vinegar which i don't have on hand. I do have a banana and a plum though.
Looks like fun!
We've had them for about a month so we'll try this soon
WOW that's awesome
Trying this right now
Excellent thanks
Thank you so much
An alternative I'd suggest is you get a disposable plastic container, like a solo cup, or an equivalent, then you take a tablespoon of sugar, two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, half a cup of warm water and stir it all together until the sugar dissolves, then add a couple squirts of dish soap, and leave it in the place you see the most gnats. Or multiple places, if you have a lot in your house.
You don't even need to cover it with plastic!
Seems to work pretty well as an alternative for us, however, if you'd like to try both, and see which one you like best, (or more accurately, which one your gnats like best ;) then please, try both.
The less gnats in your house the better!
I used sugar dawn apple cider an a lil water.. Just left the top open an it worked the best outta all the ones i tried probably got 30+ over night..
Sounds great, but you can also use sage. Set some around and you won’t see any ants. I did this and boy it works.🥰
Exceptionally effective but you can boost it a bit by adding a tablespoon or so of Apple juice or apple cider vinegar to the water. I shared this video on Facebook, I hope that is OK.
Thank you! I made this for the garage, using a piece of banana and the gnats were gone in just a few days.
WOW. Worked perfectly! Thank you so much. I tried several things, cleaned thoroughly, still there they were driving me damn near nuts. Tried this, had everything right there in my kitchen and bam in a few hours caught all but a few that are surely to meet their doom soon!!! Actually the tapping them to extinction was FUN!
Dawn Bauer God me too I will try this I just clean clean and clean but they never go.
Pakistani/potohari you tuber in uk Potohari mom Good Luck Potohari❣️ Pour boiling water down all the drain openings I.e., kitchen, tub, sinks, garbage disposal etc,.I think that helped a lot as well. I did the experiment twice as the utube suggested. I believe they breed in the container as it seems there were more in it than initially in my kitchen. So just tiny holes for them to get in but not out. Let me know. ❤️
"tapping them to extinction was fun" - - - - - - nice
Trying this now cuz I’m so tired of them!
Wow, psycho 😮
They also go crazy for Guiness stout.
hours of fun thanks friend
My apple cider vinegar trap hasn’t worked so will give this a go , been using a main powers zapper grid that regularly gets 20 or so flies but the bulb has burst so awaiting replacements so will try what you suggested
I'll betcha this works, going to try it will let you know
ive got about 30 gnats in there now it definitely works
Nice trap. I had a fruit fly infestation that turned out to be a runaway avocado hiding behind my airfryer. Once i discovered the cause i just vacoomed the stragglers. However once things was at their heighest i used some jars with water + a spoon of sugar + a spoon of vinegar + a few drops of dish soap & mixed it up. It did work & cought a fairly casual dozen each day, but i think using real fruit like you will work much better.
@2:08- "drum? You got it!" Tap tap tap
This is the best fruit fly Trap - Period!! I put 2 small tupperware bannana cups in a 6x9 clear pyrex pan - had the bannans sticking up - covered with plastic wrap with rubber band - caught 100's of Fruit flies dead in the water over night!!! I am going to try it again tonight!!! I used those bottle traps - they sucked - compared to this trap - but this trap gets it done!!! Must seal the plastic wrap with the rubber band - the bananas ferment - shoot out a scent to attract the fruit flies fast!!! I just made the trap - there are fruit flies in the trap after 10 minutes!!! It is also a large area for the fruit flys to sit on - Awesome Trap - Thanks Again for sharing!!!!!
Thank you so much for your comment have a great day
Thanks so much I am going to set this up now!! I work on my computer and the light draws them there and I have them touching my skin and flying in my face so I cannot wait to set this up!! I will let you know!
Hello my good friend I just wanted to tell you again THANK YOU for the information on how to get rid of these pesky monsters I actually just set the trap for them yesterday after watching your AMAZING video about how to I did it and boy have I been SUCCESSFUL along with my beloved Lucy my dog they were bugging her yesterday and she snapped at them and killed some too I actually took a picture of my SUCCESS i want to share with you THANK you again Lydia Diego Louisville ky
I had made this trap two years ago and it works great! But I didn’t have bananas or any kind of fruit in the house during the time so I used bread. And still it worked great, It caught at bunch of gnats. I highly recommend using this method before any thing else.
So you had a glass full of flying bugs? You need some liquid for them to drown in. But if it works for you, all power to you.
I am so Thankful that I found your video I LOVE you tube they always come to my rescue I have been fighting these little monsters for a week now tried several different things and I talked to my neighbor Kay about this and she told me to watch your video and I did I have the trap set can't wait until they are gone Thank you so much for your information on this topic
I had no idea I was famous for my gnat trap, thank you
@@Lampofilm Hey I think you are and I can't say Thank you enough
Our doors have been open to allow these pesky insects inside. I used 1 sandwich Tupperware and a Beneful soft dog food container. I used a small banana cut in half...our Gnats like strawberry ends, coffee grounds and egg shells, so I added these to encourage the group. I covered these 2 containers with a Gallon ZIP-Loc baggie - I poked holes and used a rubberband to hold secure [no where to show my picture]. I have 24+ buggies - husband has used the flyswatter too.
,Wow vry gud idea.tnx
Thank you!!!!
thankyou!!!
Brilliant ❤️Genius ❤️Merci ❤️
Put liquid Drano down the drains...that where they are coming from...they live on the decaying food and stuff in your drains
SON BRING ME SOME VINGER APPLE CIDER OUT OF THE REFRIGERATOR AND A LITTLE DISHWASHING LIQUID,
they don't drown in the drain?
@@MshChris No the larvae live in the gunk that accumulates around the inside of the drain! 😲
i allways have a big problem with these little pests as my 2 birds have to have fruit everyday and i was spending a fortune buying traps from amazon , deff going to give this a go thanks
When you were putting the elastic band on I held my breath, I knew what would likely happen to me, the plastic box & contents would fly across the room, propelled by the elastic band 😂
I just have to remember this technique for next summer…those damn fruit flies send me crazy
I did do some flicking and swishing to drown some, but this idea is better
I used a half cup of Apple cider vinegar in a bowl with seran wrap and poke holes in the wrap with a toothpick. 15 fruit flies in 20 minutes.
Doing this tonight
It worked
I have everything except the rubberband. Son of a Beeep.
strongdelusions you really don t need one just put is on the sides
Lol
Use tape.
😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏻
Thank you for sharing this with us. I've got a few gnats in my room, and you can't get them with the fly swatter. They are just too fast. And, they keep getting up on the white tv (as I open Notepad or Word) and just bug hell out of me. I'm older now so not as fast with my legs or arms, but I think your trip will help an Old Gesser like me ...
Doesnt even matter if you kill them, they magically reappear in the exact same spot regardless how many times they die.
Does this work for fungus gnats as well?
I tried the trap with it covered, didn’t work. Now I tried without being covered. So far, they are sitting on the edge of bowl??
What about grapes?! 🍇 Can I use them?!
Another experiment would be to draw a small dark spot on the opening
with a black marker to mimic decaying fruit openings and draw them in
quicker to innards of the cup. I notice when I'm resting in a chair
they seem to fly briefly into my ears or nostrils (which really ticks me
off) and I can only guess they thought it was a fruit opening (ears I
don't understand except for being dark but nose I guess attracted/drawn
to carbon dioxide)
I've had that happen too!! Little bastards.
ok im going to go buy nose and earplugs now
Yes, you so damned right. I've got few in my room and they are fast buggers. hate them ...
As I said to Poster:

Lets see if it works. Just put it out
Is detergent is killer?
And banana is trap?
I use rat trap then fruit
The sticky one
I use hoover to catch them 😁
Wow I need to stop, I mean gnats. 😂
I pulled everything out of my kitchen (where they seemed to all be) cleaned everything with spray nine and bleach. The damn things just won't go away. I have no idea where they are coming from. I asked a few neighbors and they too have had these flies. No one is saying if they have them bad like me though. I will try this and see if it works.
Van Time somebody mentioned they can go down your drain and feed or what not and I’ve noticed one or two near my sink drain a few times too
Also, I've been sharing something I learn from the web a few days ago. Alcohol in a spray bottle (50%) is what I use, it works fine on the pest as well as flies, spray heavy, kills them dead. Hope it works for you.
Will white vinegar or balsamic vinegar work
I tried white vinegar, it didn't work (if you read the label it says it's a petroleum product). I'm thinking balsamic will work because it's made from grapes(?). A petroleum product probably doesn't break down or rot as a natural product eventually does.
My iPad spells for me, I meant nats, not ants.
I tried it and only two flies daied !!! I don’t think they want the banana inside !!! Whhhhy?
My Dad usually use an oil for cooking (vegetable oil or something) for a trap of the fruit flies.. the oil will catch them so they can't fly anymore..
I notice that fruity beer works the best to bait fruit flies.
Ants love both fruits you mentioned. Be careful you don't attract those pests. That will be a entirely different video. LOL
Watch where the ants walk then put down some boric acid. Ants always walk the same path because they leave a scent so they don't get lost. They take the boric acid to their dens and kill the baby ants, too. Same with roaches.
@@jonijones7092 Ants are so dumb! Haha
I just used viniger and honeymelon trying out mine are coming from sink
Sounds like you may have either Phorid fly’s or Drain fly’s instead which requires a different method for extermination. What I did was I poured about a 1/2 cup or so of baking soda down the drain followed with about a cup or so of vinegar (fizz those MF’s and their eggs outta their hiding spot down there)....Once you’re done making the volcano in your sink you’ll finish off those little bastards by pouring a big pot or two of boiling hot water down there. I’ll tell you what...it’s pretty damn satisfying taking em’ out this way :)
Week??? I had hundreds...use of 2 fly strips hung above my kitchen sink...got em all in 2 days.
The reason the soap in the water works so well is Nats breathe through their skin and when the soap gets on them they can't breathe so they suffocate
Glad to know they suffer just like they've made me suffer.
That theory sounds pretty cool Hunter, but I’m fairly certain the soap breaks up the surface tension of the water, thus the near weightless little flying rascals can no longer float on top of the solution & instead they’ll land on the surface and suddenly start sinking while suffocating ever so sweetly :)
@@jasonb3907 actually like ants and flies wasp and bees they all breathe through their skin and when the soap gets on them it suffocates them !!
@@hunter-jx4my Well I'll be damned I learn something new everyday, thanks Hunter & sorry I didn't do my research beforehand when replying! 👊
Am I the only one that tried to flick the fruit fly off of the screen? Lol
Thx for the tip. Badly needed
All u have to do is take an old bowl. Put cider vinegar dish soap and honey. With water stir and put on counter or where ever and knats will Die. I do it all the time...
dude I am so trying this one tomorrow used all the traps so far paltry results:(
Wouldn't the smell of banana attract flies from outside, the ones not there at first place?
Outweigh your options
Perhaps get a bug net for your window, and use the gnat trap in the same room. Reason is, even with a net they'll get in but it'll keep the other annoying flying pests out in the meantime.
Did this step by step and it didnt work
This trapped a lot of gnats but also seemed to attract twice as many.....
Ok! You definitely got a gnat problem!! What is the source .. you should be looking at that!
Ohh thanks for reminding me of watermelons iam gona put this this near me garbage box so it will be 1000x power full i really need them alive so i cna feed them to my spiderlings
The gnat is smaller. The fruit fly is larger at 1/8 inch long.
I see, thought they were the same thing!
I tried that. Got 2 probably the most inept gnats this way. I caught more unintentionally with my coffee cup...I am sure you meant well.
Can I use the peel of the banna
Try it
@@Lampofilm lol ok I just got done making the trap and my dad looked at me like I was crazy so I can't wait to see his face when it catches them
@@official_no_veah_1597 let me know how it works.
@@Lampofilm lolz it worked now I find my self back at this video lol there back
I am so sorry to keep bothering you but I really would love to post a picture of my success with your get rid of peskygnats video could you give tell me how to and do you mind if I share it on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram Thank's again
You are welcome to share my link
Apple cider vinegar with dish soap works good too .. Neighbor moved out recently & released his infestation of gnats in the building . Made 4 traps & all of them have over 20nats on the bottom of them .
Can I use tin foil instead ???? ??????????
🤣🤣🤣
Didn’t work here but these knat’s are going after my Cat’s canned food so may be different kind.
Feed the cat then put the food away instead of leaving it out. When there is no other food source they will go into the trap. I know cats don't like cold food so microzap it a few seconds to get it to room temp.
you can eat the banana later on so no waste
Apple cider and dish soap, bleach down your sink drains, close all the drains,,no need for bananas or rubber bands
Soap removes the surface tension on the water, so the gnats are unable to sit on the surface of the water but drown instead.
Killed about 50 in a day. But how do I clean this shit
Why the hell did u put dish soap on it
won't more gnats just come back even if this works?
it will reduce the population of gnats you already have by alot, but they only come back if you kepp on leaing out food
I'm gonna try this- little f-----s are eating my cats alive
Anyone try other fruits? I don’t have a banana on hand but have apples, clementines, grapes, and strawberries... Tried clementines in a cup with Gladwrap over it last night and did not catch anything
it has to go bad to attract the fruit flies
looks more like fruit flies than gnats....
What’s the difference not trying to be funny
Fruit Flies thrive in the decaying matter from fruits and drains. Gnats thrive in organic matter from soil in plants. Gnats are only a threat for houseplants whereas Fruit Flies can carry bacteria and cross contaminate food.
Can't tell one from the other, they're all pest. For the left over ones that don't go in the trap, I was blessed to come across this tip, and I tried it and it works well. Alcohol, in a spray bottle, kills them and flies. The 50% works great. I will say you have to use kind of heavy. It's a God send.
Orange works best
Thank you
white wnine trist
Ah, what? Have you been IN the wine?
Thank you for the idea! Going to build it right now. Our house has been invaded by gnats and fruit flies
Good luck!
