Rose Asked About 'Removing The Smell From Trash Cans'

What is the best way to prevent having gnats around your trash can? We've started to get a few and I don't want to have them everywhere.

If you don't want gnats around, you have to cut off their food supply. This means fruits and vegetables have to go in the refrigerator or a bin the bugs can't penetrate. Make sure house plants stay damp, but not wet, and they must have the proper drainage. Gnats just love over-watered house plants. Empty trashcans regularly and don't allow rotting food to sit in the house. Make sure all trash receptacles and sink drains are cleaned thoroughly, and don't have any old rancid food stuck to them. Never let dirty dishes stand in the sink.

Empty wine bottles are likewise a common place we find gnats.
