If you’re at your wit’s end with gnats and tiny flies, keep reading to find options including a popular UV light that attracts and traps bugs, incredibly effective sticky tape traps and other handy products that are safe for inside your home.

Shopping writer Lourdes Avila Uribe relies heavily on the Zevo insect traps every summer. They use blue + UV light in combination with sticky paper to attract and trap flies, fruit flies, gnats, mosquitos and even little spiders and other undesirable critters. "As soon as the weather starts to warm up, I put one of these in just about every room of the house. It's astonishing to me how much they catch. I have three of these in my house right now and I would not be able to manage without them," she said.

Price: $25.96 for one device and three cartridges

Executive editor Kate Palmer recommended these drain sticks. Not only do they help to prevent bad smells, but they can help to break down grease, food, fats and oils that can clog up drains and attract fruit flies. These deodorizing sticks are highly concentrated and designed to dissolve slowly. You only have to use one stick a month, and since each pack comes with 12 sticks, you're set for the whole year with a single purchase.

This fast-working and indoor-safe trap plugs into an electric outlet and can attract a number of different kinds of insects in spaces as large as 400 square feet. The non-toxic and discreet device has a UV light to lure bugs and then uses a hidden, dual-sided glue card to trap them. When the glue card is full, simply replace it and keep using the trap.

If you want a fly trap that's not an eyesore, this dishwasher-safe and ultra-displayable model is made of a durable ceramic and has a perforated stainless steel lid that allows fruit flies in, but not out. You can fill it with pre-mixed fruit fly solution or make your own using a mixture of apple cider vinegar and dish soap. 

Promising review: "I was hesitant at first based on some reviews but I like the nice design and I thought I would try one. I AM SO GLAD I DID!!!!!! In 24 hours it had over 35 fruit flies in it!! It attracts black gnats too. It’s porcelain and stainless so it’s VERY easy to clean. It’s still working and I have had to clean it out 3 times because the flies love it. I’m using something other than Mothers’ Apple Cider Vinegar. I’m using Alpine spiced apple cider drink packets. I just dissolve a little in hot water and let it cool then add it to the trap. I bought a small bottle of Apple Dawn dish soap for added apple scent." —labradorlady

Made by Terro, a trusted brand in pest control, these traps can help eliminate large scale fly infestations in just a few days.

Promising review: "[A] recent grocery delivery resulted in a swarm of fruit flies that remained [even] after fogging [the] kitchen and adjacent areas with a full can of Raid Flying insect spray. Desperate, I searched Amazon for an alternative and ordered these traps. I prepared two and by the next morning, there was NO SIGN OF FRUIT FLIES. It's truly MIRACULOUS how quickly and thoroughly they worked!" —FORGOT_PASSWORD

These dual-side sheets use a non-toxic sticky residue to capture everything from fruit flies to aphids without the use of chemical-based insecticides. The waterproof and sun-proof sheets can be cut and customized to allow you to hang them, make plant stakes or secure them along windowsills.  

Promising review: "I'm so glad I found these. I was having a fruit fly problem, which as we all know, is very annoying. I couldn't get them to go away with any weird soap and vinegar hacks so I thought I'd at least catch them in this sticky trap when they were flying around. It totally worked, and the best part is that I likely won't have any fruit flies at all anymore, cause they can't multiply if they die on the paper. Yay!" —Sofi

Made with plant-based ingredients that are non-toxic and safe for kitchens, Aunt Fannie's Fly Punch is a powerful fruit fly attractant that lasts up to 30 days and prevents flies from multiplying. Just open the lid and place it in your most affected areas or fill an existing reusable trap with the solution. 

Promising review: "This is the fourth year in a row that I have purchased this product. Needless to say, I am very happy with it. Around this time of year we usually get some gnats or fruit flies buzzing around the kitchen sink or more annoyingly, the computer monitor. When that happens, we open this product and the critters are all gone within 1-2 days. They are attracted to the scent this bottle emits once it is opened. They fly right into it and drown. You can see them floating around in it. Once they're gone, this can be easily disposed of by just tossing it in the garbage. Goodbye gnats and fruit flies." —1GLENCo

Made using long-lasting, UV-resistant and waterproof materials, these plant spikes are coated front and back with a super sticky adhesive that's both odorless and non-toxic. Perfect for use in your outdoor garden or indoor potted plants, these traps have pointed stake bases for stabbing into soil and are thoughtfully designed with a glue-free portion so you can remove them without getting adhesive on your fingers. 

Promising review: "This product WORKS BEYOND WORKS!! In Florida we get fruit flies out of nowhere. We have tried every product and old wives tale, nothing works long term until spring passes...UNTIL THIS!! From the very first day, the fruit flies haven't made it past the drain. Wow.. Just Wow! We get a small cocktail glass, put a small amount of cheap apple cider vinegar and sit this inside and all I can say is, UNBELIEVABLE... Woke up the next day to more than 20 caught onto this butterfly trap, FRONT AND 20 more on the BACK!! " —Swnsasy

This drain treatment by Green Gobbler puts an end to gnats that circle and fly up from kitchen drains. The thick citronella-based gel will coat the interior of drain pipes to kill flies on contact. The non-corrosive formula promises to be safe and gentle on garbage disposals and septic systems. 

Promising review: "I'd been dealing with a drain fly infestation for months and was at my wits end. I was killing 20-40 each day by hand or more. Tried all kinds of things to get rid of them - bug spray, lining my windows with bug spray, baking soda and vinegar down the drains, bug killer down the drains, sticky paper, and several other methods you've probably read about online... I used this pleasant smelling goo a few times as instructed and it seems to have taken care of much of the problem. After applying it to my shower drain and bathroom sink, the leftover gel around the drains had a bunch of drain fly carcasses in it the next day. I did the same thing over a period of about a week and more carcasses would appear each time. I have effectively eliminated a drain fly infestation which was driving me mad. Very cool!" —Amazon customer

This soundless compact indoor catcher uses an insect-attracting UV light, fan-induced suction and a sticky interior glue board to capture bugs without you having to lift a finger. It's small enough to place on end tables or kitchen counters, and the low-maintenance design has earned this automatic catcher more than 57,360 five-star ratings on Amazon.

Promising review: "A couple weeks ago I was suddenly inundated with gnats. In bed at night they were flying in front of my face every night. I tried insect sprays but that did nothing. Desperately I ordered this Katchy trap, based on the reviews. I set it up on my nightstand, plugged it in and turned it on. It’s very quiet so it won’t disturb my sleep. The soft blue glow of the UV light is barely noticeable with my Google Assistant only two feet away. But quite amazing to me is that it’s already captured about thirty of those nasty little buggers! I am so impressed that I just ordered a second one for my kitchen. I think anyone with small flying insects will benefit from at least one of these Katchy traps!" —Joseph Van Gyzen
