What are gnats?

  • The term “gnat” encompasses various small, winged insects including fruit flies, midges, sandflies, fungus gnats, and more. Gnats can bite, target plants or prey on other bugs. Certain gnat species even feed on the blood of warm-blooded creatures, similar to mosquitoes. This can present a serious health risk for both humans and pets.

  • Gnats share resemblances with mosquitoes but are typically smaller. While mosquitoes act alone, gnats tend to swarm, forming clusters of insects in the air. They’re also prone to invading homes, often lured by moisture.

  • Despite differences, both mosquitoes and gnats have the potential to transmit diseases through bites. Controlling gnats in S. Orange and Rockland Counties is important for a healthy home and garden, not just to stop annoyance.

Life Cycle of a Gnat

Gnats wrap up their life cycle in a matter of only about 30 days. During dusk, male gnats gather and mate with females within the swarm. After this, the female gnats lay around 300 eggs. They repeat this cycle daily, which means female gnats can tally up to 1,000 eggs laid over their lifetime.

According to our expert Associate Certified Entomologist and Director of Technical Services, David Price, “The typical gnats on your property are not a human health issue but more of a nuisance.

However, you may experience an itching sensation if a large amount of them is present, and the Eye Gnat can be quite bothersome.” He adds, “However, by reducing areas in your yard that help them breed you’ll keep the population under control.”

When tiny gnats, no-see-ums, and midges start causing trouble around your outdoor spaces, just give Mosquito Joe of S. Orange-Rockland Counties a call. Our gnat control services are here to fix that pesky problem in no time.

FAQs about Gnat Control in S. Orange and Rockland Counties

  • If you’re asking this question, it’s probably summertime. Gnats are attracted to moisture, so you’re most likely to encounter them in the summer when the air is humid and moist. Their activity tends to decrease outside during the cooler and dryer months.

  • Mosquito Joe of S. Orange-Rockland Counties’ pest control for gnats effectively protects your property when applied every 21 days. This consistent application is essential to break the gnat’s life cycle and prevent re-infestation. By sticking to this schedule, we can ensure your yard stays clear of gnats and deliver on our promise to make your outdoors fun again.

  • A one-time gnat pest control service from Mosquito Joe of S. Orange-Rockland Counties can certainly provide immediate relief, perfect for special events or gatherings. However, lasting freedom from gnats requires repeated applications due to their fast breeding cycle. When the gnats on your property are killed, biting insects from neighboring properties move in to fill the void. Our 21-day schedule is designed to stay ahead of this cycle. So, while we’re happy to provide one-time treatments for specific occasions, we strongly advise regular services for sustainable, effective gnat control, and continued comfort.
