Fungus gnats are tiny and annoying insects.
We use the word “gnat” to refer to any number of little winged insects, but actual fungus gnats are tiny nonbiting insects that love wet, rotten organic matter.
These gnats are relatively harmless creatures, but their incessant swarming is annoying enough to drive us crazy.
Take these steps to make your yard less inviting to gnats:
- Make sure you have no standing water in gutters, drainage areas, or low spots
- Keep your garden free of mold, fungus, and rotting plant debris
- Pay particular attention to shady areas with poor air circulation
- Put your compost pile as far from the house as you can, cover your trash cans, and keep fallen debris cleaned up
- Amend your garden soil to improve drainage and discourage fungus gnats
- Occasionally rake or turn your mulch to allow sodden, moldy layers to dry out
