TL  DR

Gnats are small flying insects that bite humans and other animals. They often live near stagnant water sources, so they're most likely to appear around pools, ponds, and lakes.

Clean Out The Kitchen And Bathroom

If you've been bitten by a gnat, wash the area with soap and warm water. You should also clean up any standing water where gnats might breed.

Remove All Old Food From Refrigerator And Freezer

Make sure there's no food left in the refrigerator or freezer. This will prevent them from breeding.

Wash Down Walls And Ceilings

If you find gnats in your house, wash down walls and ceilings with water. You should also clean up any standing water where gnats might breed.

Spray Insecticide Around Baseboards

Another option is to spray insecticide around baseboards. This will kill the gnat larvae before they hatch into adult flies.

Check For Dead Spiders Or Ants

If you find dead spiders or ants, make sure to dispose of them properly. You should never leave an ant colony unattended because they can quickly multiply and become a problem.
