Here's why:
* Gnats are attracted to moisture and decaying organic matter. While kitty litter can be damp if not changed regularly, it's not the primary source of gnats.
* Gnats lay their eggs in moist, decaying organic materials. This can be in fruit, vegetables, drains, damp soil, or even in a neglected plant pot.
* Kitty litter can be a secondary source. If gnats have already laid eggs in something in your home, the moist environment of the litter box can attract them, giving the impression that they're coming from the litter itself.
Here's what to do if you have gnats:
1. Clean the kitty litter box regularly. This will help to reduce the attraction to gnats.
2. Inspect your home for other sources of gnats. Check your drains, plant pots, and other areas where moisture and decaying organic matter might be present.
3. Clean and dry any areas where gnats are found.
4. Use traps or insect repellent. You can purchase gnat traps or use natural insect repellents.
By eliminating the source of the gnats, you can prevent them from becoming a nuisance.
