Q&A: What do you do about gnats coming out of a garbage disposal?

Question by Amber S.: What do you do about gnats coming out of a garbage disposal?

I rent a room in a ladies home because that's all I can afford and she keeps it really unclean. In her kitchen there are literally about 50 gnats coming out of the garbage disposal. When she's gone I tried putting bleach, and all sorts of chemicals and nothing has worked. They just won't stop coming back. I don't know what to use to get them to completely go away.

Any advice on what to do? It'd be very appreciated!

Flying insect spray works really well, but they can take a few weeks to totally disappear. If your landlady is really dirty, report her to the housing board because sooner or later you may find yourself dealing with something worse than gnats! You do run the risk, however, of loosing out on cheap rent but...

Good luck!
