Get Rid of Gnats Once and for All with These Hacks

Is it just us, or are they everywhere right now? If you've ever spilled sugary juice on the counter and didn't wipe it up right away, overwatered plants inside or outside, or waited a day too long to take out the trash, you know this feeling. One simple household mistake, and all of sudden your house seems to be covered up in bugs—tiny gnats, to be exact. Here are eight ways to help you get rid of gnats once and for all. Before killing gnats, the first thing to do is make sure that they are, in fact, gnats. There are many different types of itty-bitty flying insects, and each requires a slightly different elimination tactic. You may actually find yourself needing to know how to get rid of fruit flies or how to get rid of drain flies instead. If you know what to look for, it's easy to distinguish between bugs. Fungus gnats look black and feature long legs while fruit flies are typically brown and rounder in shape. Drain flies have a fuzzier appearance and larger wings, and as the name suggests, they hang out around sink drains. Once you’ve correctly identified what bug is, well, bugging you, you can start to take the necessary steps toward getting rid of gnats, flies, and any other bugs once and for all with vinegar solutions, store-bought remedies, and even rotten fruit (really!). For longer-term success, invest in one of the best bug zappers on the market.

Easy ways to hydrate without drinking water

The importance of water in our diets is hard to exaggerate. With the human body composed of up to 60% water, H2O is essential and hydration key to leading a healthy, happy life.

However, for those of us who don't like the taste of water (or lack thereof), or are simply indifferent to it, it can be difficult to take in as much water as the body needs. Of course, there is no substitute for water and it's important to aim for at least two liters a day. However, there are other water sources that can complement drinking water in a pretty powerful way. Check out this gallery for some easy ways to hydrate without drinking water.
