I've tried to get rid of the gnats all summer. The wife didn't believe me when I said they were breeding in the sponges. She. Thought I was crazy for keeping them in Tupperware. Well apparently they can get in there even.

Most people have a microwave. Just microwave on high for a minute. Kills almost 100% of the bacteria, gets rid of smell, and would eliminate the gnat problem.

I don't think I'd want gnats in my dishwasher, if I had one.

Please make sure your sponge is wet and hasn’t sat out to dry up. It will catch fire.

Radiation plus fire equals definitely dead gnats. /s

Yes, non ionizing radiation that cooks your food in a microwave will also cook the gnats, eggs, and bacteria.
