will this trap kill gnats during the day hours?

First, if the unit is on during the day and bugs are attracted to the light, then yes it will trap insects during the day. Second, the trap doesn't kill the bugs. They get trapped in the reservoir and die on their own.

It's not an instant fix...give it some time to work its magic. Your gnat population should be diminished significantly, and the remaining few should die out pretty soon. I continued to see a stray gnat for a while, and I didn't even notice when that stopped because there were so few at that point. You followed the instructions to put the powder a third of the way in the pot, right? In addition to that, I also sprinkled some around the surface dirt and watered it in. That might help you, too.

The larvae are under the soil, still hatching. This product prevents adult gnats from laying additional eggs. They (the remaining adults and newly-hatching larvae) should all be gone after a few days.

I have never used a thuricide product for fly or gnat control. I would not expect it to be effective for this. These type of product is very effective for the control of caterpillar-type pest.

It catches any flying insects that are attracted to light. We get moths, flies, mosquitoes, crane flys, beetles, etc. Gnats come in many size, the only concern I would have if there is a gnat that is so small it would squeeze through the screen. It is pretty fine. The way the trap works is flying insects are attracted to the light and sucked into a chamber with a mild vacuum caused by an internal fan. Starting in the spring and ending every fall have two running in our house 24/7.

I find gnats are attracted to this the best. I rarely if ever kill a fly with this item.

I think it worked very well for indoor plants. many bugs were caught on the sticky trap. I never used it outside but it states it is weatherproof.

No. I am surprised that it traps even one fruit fly...I was very disappointed in the product.

It seems to work best on soft-skinned "bugs" like spiders so I would think it work well for gnats...but couldn't say for sure, never tried...

No. The trap does not even work on flies. There was a really bad problem with flies this year in Southern Idaho and I ended having to kill all of them with windex and a swatter. Save your money, the trap sucks and smells gross!

It will trap pretty much any insect. We have had flies, a roach, and various other insects become trapped due to the fact that we keep it in our living room and at night insects are attracted to light in general. We use in it conjunction with other flea killing methods such as medicating our cats. If you have just a few gnats, this might do the trick. If you have an infestation you will be better off finding the source of the infestation and then eradicating it. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Fruit Flies and Gnats wiggle their way free, so I doubt blackflies would get stuck. Tiny whiteflies will stick to the trap, but not much else. I haven't used them outdoors, so I'm not sure how well they work other insects. The local home pest control sells little glue boards made to catch spiders. Those things seem to catch anything. I've seen several large house flies stuck to them, so they should work if you can find them.

Hi, Kristen. So far mine has not caught any gnats, it catches a lot of flies though. Works great, and is put together good to. For the gnats, I suggest, those sticky traps. I have used them to, and they are great. They catch everything, that flies. I got them from Amazon to. Have two in my back yard. Dolores

Yes if you use a ton of it. One bottle will last me about a week if I don't use it every day, but gnats are very bad here. Personaly I think it is over priced.

Yes, and it does it very well. I put mine in my bedroom and turn out all the lights in the room a few hours before bed time. Any gnats, mosquitoes, flies, or any other flying insect will be attracted to the light and sucked in. Then I move the unit to another part of the house and let it run all night. I love this trap.

After the first night deploying the trap I can tell you that several mice got in and yet none were there in the morning. Either they teleported out, evaporated, or escaped. I am going with escape as the most likely option in which case this trap is not helpful or effective. I am going to go with kill traps.

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.
