Gnat and fruit fly control for Westminster, driven more by houseplant habits than anything the city's history left behind.
Call (844) 924-1337A shorter Colorado growing season pushes a lot of gardening indoors for much of the year, and Westminster's own strong houseplant culture gives fungus gnats plenty of consistently moist potting soil to breed in regardless of how dry it is outside.
Denver's composting rules are also reaching nearby Front Range communities, and the organic waste now sitting in shared bins gives fruit flies and drain flies a food source the old trash only system never provided, adding a second, more recent source to Westminster's gnat pressure.

Finding and eliminating the breeding source, whether that's overripe produce, a drain, or the garbage disposal, matters more than swatting the flies you can see. Traps can help reduce the adult population while you address the source, but a recurring problem often means the source hasn't fully been found yet.
Note where the flies gather, including any activity around plant containers, drains, and compost storage. Describe whether the problem is limited to one area or appears in several places, and what cleaning or watering changes you have already tried. That record helps focus the search for the source without assuming every small fly is a fruit fly.
Explain which area you cleaned, whether sightings decreased, and where flies appeared again. Mention whether activity stayed near the original spot or shifted elsewhere. Ask whether another breeding source needs checking before repeating the same approach; fewer visible adults alone does not establish that the source has been addressed.
Fruit flies and fungus gnats have different sources, produce and drains for fruit flies, overwatered houseplant soil for gnats, so treating both effectively means identifying which you actually have. Identifying which flies are present helps focus the inspection and treatment on the correct breeding source.
