Trying to get rid of gnats inside the house. have no houseplants.
You may be experiencing drain flies. A common problem in restaurants especially with floor drains. Not knowing your accomadations if it's a basement apartment or even your kitchen sink they could be coming from the P-trap under the sink. Possible solution are to treat the drains with disinfectant liquid lysol or iodine. Bleach doesn't seem to work as well. How about fruits? maybe something forgotten in a cupboard. Hope this helps.

No ! Use a oil like olive oil, to trap them and ammonia to kill them. Also can use a lemon scent detergent with water to deter them.

Clean up the living area where the gnats are hanging around. This is usually the kitchen .Take away all garbage, clean the sink disposal, and throw away any food residue.
Spray the counters with a cleaner that contains bleach to discourage gnats. Dry off the counters with paper towels.
Pour a cup of ammonia down your sink drains and disposal to coat the inside. Gnats inside the drains will quickly die.
Mix together equal parts apple cider vinegar and dish detergent.
Pour the mixture into small dishes or cups and set them out in the areas where gnats congregate. The gnats will be attracted to the sweetness of the vinegar but will get caught and die in the dish soap.
Keep trash cans covered at all times, and empty them every night.
Leave your compost buckets outside. Gnats love vegetables and fruits.
Avoid over watering your plants. Soggy soil attracts gnats
