Tiny flies swarming around your plants, kitchen, and face? Fungus gnats breed in damp soil and multiply fast. Our targeted gnat treatment breaks the breeding cycle and eliminates them at every life stage.
Gnats are tiny flying insects that can turn your comfortable Michigan home into an annoying, buzzing nightmare.
The most common indoor gnats. They are tiny dark flies (1/8 inch) that breed in the moist soil of houseplants, feeding on fungi and organic matter in potting mix.
Gnats lay eggs in overwatered houseplant soil, organic debris, and anywhere damp organic material accumulates. Larvae hatch and feed below the soil surface out of sight.
With a 3-4 week life cycle and up to 200 eggs per female, gnat populations can explode from a handful to hundreds in just a few weeks inside your home.
These warning signs mean gnats have established a breeding population in your home.
Tiny dark flies hovering around or resting on the soil surface of your houseplants, especially when you water them.
Small flies gathering near fruit bowls, garbage cans, sink drains, and any area with food residue or moisture.
Gnats congregating on windows and light fixtures as they are attracted to light sources throughout your home.
Houseplants with yellowing leaves, wilting, or stunted growth — gnat larvae may be feeding on the roots below the soil.
Tiny flies constantly buzzing around your face, food, and drinks — attracted to the carbon dioxide you exhale and moisture.
Tiny translucent worm-like larvae visible in the top layer of potting soil when you dig into it gently.
Michigan homeowners face unique gnat challenges. Our long winters mean houseplants stay indoors for months, creating extended breeding opportunities for fungus gnats. Many Michigan residents overwater their indoor plants during dry winter months, providing the perfect damp conditions gnats need. When spring arrives and windows open, outdoor gnats are drawn inside to join the party. Michigan's humid summers keep indoor soil moist longer, fueling faster gnat reproduction. Whether you're in Ann Arbor, Jackson, or Lansing, gnats are a year-round indoor pest that requires professional treatment to fully eliminate.

Fungus gnats are tiny dark flying insects that breed in moist soil, especially in houseplants. They lay eggs in damp potting soil where larvae feed on fungi and plant roots. They often enter your home in contaminated potting soil from garden centers.
Adult gnats are mostly a nuisance. However, gnat larvae damage plant roots, causing yellowing, wilting, and stunted growth. Large infestations can kill seedlings. They do not transmit diseases to humans.
Indoor gnats thrive year-round because your home provides warmth and moisture. Overwatered houseplants are the number one source of winter gnats in Michigan homes. The warm indoor environment creates perfect breeding conditions.
Gnats return because the breeding source hasn't been eliminated. Each female lays up to 200 eggs, and the life cycle takes only 3-4 weeks. Professional treatment targets larvae in the soil while eliminating adults, breaking the entire cycle.
Vinegar traps catch some adults but don't stop larvae breeding in soil. Since one female lays up to 200 eggs, trapping a few adults barely dents the population. Professional treatment targets the breeding source for complete elimination.
Stop swatting at tiny flies all day. Let us eliminate your gnat problem at the source.
