Cy-Kick CS is not labeled for use on gnats and would not be effective. As an alternative you could use Tempo SC Ultra.
Beta Cyfluthrin like Tempo is just a newer version of Cyfluthrin like Cy-Kick. They are both synthetic pyrethroids. Either Tempo SC Ultra and Cy-Kick CS would work great for listed insects. One is not considered "stronger" than the other. A product like Cy-Kick CS is going to last longer typically outdoors than a standard non-encapsulated product like Tempo would. However, faster knockdown may be observed with the use of the Tempo SC Ultra since the beta-cyfluthrin can provide that. Tempo is often used for more aggressive insects like wasps, while Cy-Kick CS is used frequently for larger insects like scorpions. Be sure to refer to both product labels to insure you are using a product appropriate for your needs, or call us at 866-581-7378 if you have more specific questions about your situation.

Only mix exactly what you can use and discard any left over solution outside in the woods or in a place that is not near any bodies of water and thoroughly rinse the sprayer after each use.
Per the label instructions, Cy-Kick CS is applied to crack and crevice areas, and around baseboards, window and door frames, under appliances and sinks, and other potential entry points such as where plumbing or wiring meet the wall.
