Nats all over new grass???

Question

we just pulled all the trees out of our backyard and layed new sod down. Now we have hundreds of little nats flying in the air above the lawn. How can we get rid of these annoying pests?

Answer 1

You have probably been watering your new sod a lot, in which case the constant moisture might encourage fungus gnats in the soil. Once your sod is established and you water less, they will probably disappear. If not, I suggest putting bat houses around your property, and these flying bug-zappers will take of thousands of bugs for you!
