Gnats, particularly fungus gnats, are skinny with long legs and thrive in moist environments, often hitching rides on overwatered plants or developing in sink drains.

Samah always keeps her children, three-year-old Mayaseen, and four-year-old Asaad, in sight, and spends most of her day cleaning in a desperate attempt to discourage the rats, but to no avail.
