They catch other insects as well (Bees, butterflies, lizards, etc). They can be an effective way to treat a severe infestation outside. Replace often and remove once problem is resolved. A layer of mulch can also help.

What other recommendations do you have for fungus gnats outside? My raised garden bed is infested with fungus gnats! 🙁

I always leave a few yellow sticky traps in my houseplants to act as an “early detection system”. If I see even one gnat, it’s time to take action.
