Don’t get caught off-guard by gnats – eliminate them with our professional gnat control service. These tiny, aggravating insects seem to appear out of nowhere, and they can make even the most comfortable home feel unpleasant. Whether they’re buzzing in your face, clustering around prized plants, or hovering near drains, they can be equal parts annoying and stubborn – and their population numbers tend to explode in the warmer months when you want to get out and enjoy the outdoors.
Fortunately, there’s an easy solution for gnat control in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and Kentucky. If you’re ready to tell gnats to buzz off, call Lookout Pest Control today for a free estimate.
How Does Mite Treatment Work?
When you call us for gnat control, our goal is to help you solve the problem immediate and for the long term. Here’s how our proven three-step process works:
- Our first step is a thorough inspection of your home and surrounding property. Gnats commonly breed in moist soil, clogged drains, and overwatered houseplants. By identifying hotspots—such as kitchen sinks, indoor plants, or areas with standing water—we pinpoint exactly where gnats are laying eggs.
- Once we know where gnats are breeding, we apply targeted treatments that address both adult flies and their larvae. This might include treating drains, adjusting watering schedules for indoor plants, or recommending improved ventilation. Our approach is tailored to your specific situation—whether you’re contending with fungus gnats, drain gnats, or other gnat-like species.
- You want an immediate solution, and you want a solution that lasts – that’s what long-term prevention is for. Gnats are opportunistic, and if you don’t address the root causes, you could see a repeat infestation. We help you achieve by identifying potential fixes that will help keep the gnats at bay moving forward.

Are Gnats Dangerous?
Overall, gnats are more of an annoyance than a danger. Not all species of gnats bite, but some do. The good news is that the bites are usually minor, and the risk of a gnat transmitting a disease to a person is very low. Still, these tiny pests can still be more than just a nuisance. Here are a few risks to keep in mind:
- Potential Bites: Some gnat species can bite, causing mild irritation or itching.
- Contamination: Landing on decaying matter and then on food surfaces could spread bacteria.
- Allergic Reactions: A small percentage of people may develop allergic responses—like redness or swelling—to gnat bites.
- General Discomfort: Large numbers hovering around eyes, ears, or kitchen areas can make everyday life frustrating.
Gnats vs. Fruit Flies: What’s the Difference?
It’s easy to mistake gnats for fruit flies — they’re both tiny, annoying, and drawn to kitchens. Here’s how to tell them apart:
- Color and Shape: Fruit flies typically have a more robust, rounded body with distinctive red or dark eyes. Gnats often appear slender and dark (black, brown, or greyish).
- Attraction: Fruit flies swarm around overripe fruit, sugary spills, and vinegar-like scents. Gnats gravitate toward decaying organic matter in soil, damp areas, or drains.
- Breeding Sites: Fruit flies lay eggs on exposed fruit or leftover scraps, while gnats can reproduce in potting mix, standing water, or even damp trash cans.
- Behavior: Both fly erratically, but fruit flies usually hover around your produce bowl, whereas gnats may disperse throughout the home, buzzing near plants, sinks, and windows.
