Hometriangle Experts suggested some tricks and methods below, However, won’t guarantee 100% success for everyone. Some will have more success than others, depending on the severity and complexity of the situation.

2. Vinegar Trap
For this method, you will need some apple cider vinegar, sugar, dish soap, water, and a container. In the container, mix two tablespoons of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, a few drops of soap, and 1 liter of water. Mix it well then place the container around the area where you see the most gnats.
3. Pouring Bleach into Sink
If you are dealing with drain flies then this is something that may help with reducing the problem. Sometimes, pouring bleach won’t necessarily eradicate the problem because the gnats may be breeding deep within the drainage system.
When you use this method, do not straight up pour bleach into the sink. You want to dilute it a bit with a bit of water first.
4. Rotten Fruit Trick
Similar to the vinegar trap, stick a rotten or overripe fruit into a container, put plastic around the container, pinch a few holes into the plastic, then watch as the gnats fly into the trap.
