Gnats cluster in damp, shaded spots and around standing water, so they show up near lawns, shaded beds, and low spots after wet weather. Fungus gnats don't bite, but they can make a patio or garden hard to enjoy. Biting midges, sometimes called no-see-ums, are a different insect and are covered on our No-See-Um Control page. Cape Cod Mosquito Squad is locally owned and operated, serving Cape Cod since 2014 and fully licensed in Massachusetts (License AL-0054568).
Gnat control is one of several pest control services we offer across the Cape.
Gnats gather where moisture and shade hold: around standing water, in damp mulch and leaf litter, and in shaded beds along the foundation and near ponds. Yards with lots of wet leaf litter or poorly drained spots tend to see more of them.
Outdoors, gnats are most noticeable in warm weather when soil, mulch, and leaf litter stay damp. Indoors, they most often appear around houseplants kept in wet potting soil, which can cause problems year-round. Your technician will plan visits around the moisture and conditions on your property.
Our trained technicians inspect for standing water and damp, shaded areas, then treat the shrub lines, mulch edges, and low vegetation where gnats gather, using EPA-registered products applied per label instructions.
We use EPA-registered products applied by trained technicians per label instructions. These products are non-toxic and environmentally protective. We also use 3 natural products for those who want an alternative approach.
Your technician will also point out the moisture sources that draw gnats, such as standing water, poorly drained spots, and wet mulch, since reducing those helps keep gnats down between visits.
Empty standing water weekly, keep gutters clear, rake back wet leaf litter, and let mulch beds dry out between rains where you can.
We treat yards across the Cape, including Barnstable, Bourne, Brewster, Chatham, Dennis, Eastham, Falmouth, Harwich, Mashpee, Orleans, Provincetown, Sandwich, Truro, Wellfleet, and Yarmouth.
