I have gnats in my kitchen and living room. It's basically all on the first floor of my house. I had a bad gnat problem last year in my master bathroom and found out the source of the problem was the subfloor getting wet from a leaky toilet. That problem has been resolved. Since around mid August I've had a similar problem in my first floor. I've been trapping some of them with apple cider vinegar. The problem is they keep coming back. I do have some plants in the kitchen that have constant standing water in them. My husband has the green thumb in the house. He's always kept the plants this way. I don't see any bugs flying around the plants nor do I see any eggs. Can eggs or larvae be invisible to the eye? I'm wondering if they're in the water and we just don't see them. The bugs do look like fungus gnats. They're black with clear wings and are weak flyers. I appreciate any insight/help with this. Thanks!
