What you need

  • How to get rid of plant gnats
Shop the supplies

Dr. Bronner’s Sal Suds

  • I use Sal Suds not only because it’s all-natural and highly-concentrated, but it’s also biodegradable and good for the environment, unlike other dish soaps
  • If you don’t have Sal Suds, any dish soap you have at home will still work

Apple cider vinegar

  • This ingredient is what attracts the fruit flies to the trap, so this is a crucial ingredient!
  • Make sure yours contains ‘the mother’

Sugar

  • I have coconut sugar at home, since it is less processed than regular sugar
  • Any kind of sugar will work, so use what you have

Water

  • Helps to combine all the ingredients
  • Tap water is also fine to use

Container

  • I used a small container, but feel free to use a container that works for your situation
  • No lid is necessary ⏤ once the gnats are attracted and take a taste, it’s game over!

How to make

How to use
