"Gnat" is a loose term for tiny flies, especially those with a habit of swarming in large clouds after dusk. Gnats are usually harmless but can become very annoying with a tendency to end up in your eyes, nose and mouth. Keeping them out of your bedroom is straightforward enough. You remove objects that attract gnats, place a screen over open windows and, if necessary, spray the flies.
Instructions
1. Remove any potted plants from the bedroom. Gnats are attracted to moisture and fungus, both of which are found around your houseplants. Some species of gnat may even breed in the pots.
2. Remove anything else that is damp or sweet. A basket of fruit might provide nice for you, but it also provides nice for flies. Keep fruit and vegetables in sealed containers in the kitchen when you have a serious gnat problem.
3. Fit a mosquito screen over the bedroom window, if you wish to have the window open but not let flies in. Gnats aren't usually enough of an annoyance that you need to use a mosquito net on the bed. You can purchase insect screen by the roll or get kits with everything you need.
4. Mix 10 to 20 drops of lavender, tea tree or peppermint essential oil with water in a spray bottle. Spray any gnats you see in the bedroom. Even the water droplets can kill flies as small and delicate as gnats, and the essential oils should finish them off. If you plan to use a commercial insecticide, make sure that it is suitable for use indoors and follow the instructions exactly.
