Gnats may be small, but their impact can be significant. Whether it’s fungus gnats damaging your houseplants, drain flies breeding in your pipes, or fruit flies buzzing around your kitchen, these pests can quickly overrun your Sarasota home. Professional gnat extermination ensures these nuisances are eradicated at the source, providing lasting relief and preventing future infestations.
Common Types of Gnats Found in Sarasota
- Fungus Gnats:
- Thrive in damp soil, particularly in houseplants.
- Feed on fungi and plant roots, potentially harming your greenery.
- Drain Flies:
- Live and breed in organic buildup within drains.
- Known to carry bacteria, posing a health risk in your home.
- Fruit Flies:
- Attracted to overripe fruits and vegetables.
- Rapid breeders, often leading to stubborn infestations.
How Gnats Enter Your Home
Gnats find their way indoors through:
- Open doors or windows.
- Potted plants with infested soil.
- Organic debris in drains, garbage disposals, or trash cans.
Once inside, they gravitate toward moisture and organic material, creating the perfect environment for rapid population growth.
Why Gnats Are More Than a Nuisance
Despite their size, gnats can cause a range of problems, including:
- Biting species: Some gnats leave itchy, irritating welts on your skin.
- Health concerns: Contamination from drain flies and fruit flies can spread bacteria.
- Damage to plants: Fungus gnats harm houseplants by feeding on roots and fungi.
Their rapid breeding cycles make gnats difficult to control without professional pest management.

Kelly Davitt2025-06-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After all of the rain I had tons of fire ants crawling all over the inside of my townhome and all over my lanai. I called Waves Pest Control the very next morning and Adam generously squeezed me into his busy schedule for that same day which I was very appreciative of. When he arrived it didn’t feel like I was being squeezed into the schedule at all, he didn’t rush through the job and took time to explain everything that he was going to do. Adam was very pleasant and knowledgeable! He even ended up finding brown recluse nests around my front entryway and around the property that I was unaware of which he took care of right away. I was very impressed with the level of care and expertise. I would highly recommend Adam and Waves Pest Control!
