The only way to get rid of gnats without killing them is to repel them with scents they don't like: vinegar, vanilla, pine oil, peppermint, lemon, eucalyptus, and lavender. Even dryer sheets could help. Of course, the first line of duty would be to get rid of the infestation's root cause.

Citronella. Citronella, Cymbopogon nardus, is a classic natural mosquito repellent. It has a strong lemony smell and is rich in plant chemicals that mask other aromas and repel mosquitoes.

Yes: Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus

OLE is EPA-approved and effective for warding off mosquitoes. You can get it (or its synthetic version, PMD) in products like Repel and Off! Botanicals. Steer clear of "pure" OLE (the oil alone, not in a repellent) -- it hasn't been tested for safety and isn't recommended by the EPA.

How do you use STEM insecticide? ›

STEM's scientists decode the power of nature to use botanical extracts to effectively and safely protect your family, home and pets from pests (when used as directed). STEM plant-based active ingredient bug spray is formulated with botanical extracts to kill roaches, ants and spiders.

Avoid overwatering houseplants to avoid moist conditions where fungus gnats thrive. Clean drains and the garbage disposal to get rid of food buildup that can be breeding grounds where gnats thrive. Check for plumbing leaks and repair them. Wipe up spills and food from floors and countertops.

Dryer sheets can also be used to protect houseplants from annoying pests. Since they have been proven to repel fungus gnats, placing several dryer sheets near your houseplants could protect them from these root-eating pests.

Vinegar Traps

One method includes setting a bowl near the infestation and pouring apple cider vinegar, a teaspoon of sugar and a teaspoon of dish soap into the bowl. The sugar will attract the gnats, the dish soap will prevent them from escaping and the vinegar will kill them.

Is there anything that actually repels mosquitoes? Our experts highly recommend DEET, picaridin and IR3535 as the most effective active ingredients for repelling mosquitoes.

While they may provide some temporary relief from mosquitoes in a small area, mosquito coils are not effective in larger spaces and are not a long-term solution. Hiring a professional is always the most effective and safest option for mosquito control.

Oil of lemon eucalyptus is the most potent natural mosquito repellent. A DEET-free alternative to commercial mosquito repellent, oil of lemon eucalyptus is the only natural insect repellent recommended by both the EPA and CDC.

The idea you can apply a sticker or patch to your clothing to protect you from mosquito bites may sound appealing, but these devices provide a false sense of security. There is no evidence they are an equally effective alternative to the topical repellents recommended by health authorities around the world.
