Did you know that gnats and mosquitoes are classified as the same species? These pests can be a nuisance from early spring until mid-to-late June when the warmer summer months arrive. The impact of Gnats has been amplified by the added pressure and moisture caused by months of heavy rain. Thankfully, Mosquito Joe of North Georgia provides gnat repellent services, so you can return to enjoying your backyard swat-free!
What are Gnats attracted to?
Life Cycle of a Gnat
Gnats will move through their life cycle in approximately 30 days. During this time, the male gnats will swarm at dusk and mate with the female who has entered the swarm. From there the female gnat will lay 300 eggs and a total of 1,000 eggs during her lifetime.
“The typical gnats on your property are not a human health issue and more of a nuisance. However, you may experience an itching sensation if a large amount of them are present and the Eye Gnat can be quite bothersome.” Says our own David Price – Associate Certified Entomologist and Mosquito Joe Director of Technical Services. “However, by reducing areas in your yard that help them breed you’ll keep the population under control.”
