Gnat Control

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!

Let Us Call You

  • Many things in your yard can attract gnats and create breeding conditions for them. Gnats require two things in order to reproduce – moisture and rotting organic matter.

  • Here are a few things that may be attracting gnats to your yard:

    • Overwatering your lawn
    • Build-up of grass clippings
    • Rotten logs
    • Dead plants
    • Unremoved stumps

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.”

How Mosquito Joe of North Georgia can help:

Mosquito Joe of North Georgia is available to assist you in eliminating gnats from your yard. Gnats are attracted to water, fruits and vegetables, and decomposing organic matter. Many of these can be found outside, near trash cans, sewage systems, and even your garden.

Here are some great tips for those trouble areas around your home:

  • Place rotting fruit and vegetables in sealed containers or garbage bags and dispose of them as soon as possible.

  • Allow time for waterbeds to dry between watering plants and gardens.

  • Remove decaying organic matter such as leaves.

  • Avoid using moss beds.

    For 8 years we have been battling the mosquito. We have stayed in many beautiful evenings because of the pests. For the first time this year, after one application by Mosquito Joe, we have enjoyed every night this summer sitting on our deck. What a great service!

    It actually works!! I was skeptical at first. The mosquitoes are so bad here, but not since we've had this service. My neighbors also signed up because they noticed that we had no mosquitoes.
