    Usually gnats are a nuisance where there is spoiling fruit. Perhaps you have an orange or grapefruit that is getting soft on the underside. They also like the left over seeds that fall into the bottom of a bird cage. Find the "rotting" source and remove it. The gnats will leave.

    Go to the local Avon store...buy some SSS oil, knats,flies hate the stuff. Mist it in your window seals and garbage can after changin bags. Good also on a picnic table

    Knats will disappear fast.

    I fyou have houseplants, check the soil. Gnats can get in the soil and they breed there. If you see them there, you can buy stuff for plants that will kill them, but I had to get rid of the plant eventually, because they kept breeding

    that's the element approximately apartments and gnats. you extremely share the development with each and each guy or woman in case you have vents, abode windows, etc. Throw each and every thing right into a tying bag. sparkling sponges with the heady scent of orange or lemon are adequate to maintain them fed. annoying, i understand. basically sparkling like a mAD female a minimum of three X/ day and characteristic your boyfriend do the comparable.
