You spend hours cleaning, yet those tiny fruit flies and gnats still appear out of nowhere, mocking your efforts. I used to think my house was just cursed until I realized I was missing one crucial, often-forgotten step in my cleaning routine. Are you neglecting this hidden gnat hotspot that’s silently sabotaging your efforts?

 

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

– Dish soap
– Hot tap water (as hot as your faucet allows)

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Run your hot tap water for about a minute to get the pipes warm.
2. Squirt a generous amount of dish soap (about 2-3 tablespoons) directly down the drain.
3. Let the soap sit in the drain for 5-10 minutes. This allows it to coat the pipes and trap any small larvae or eggs.
4. Flush the drain thoroughly with hot tap water for another 2-3 minutes to rinse everything away. Do this regularly as part of your kitchen clean-up!
