Are there any gnats/fruit flies in your house right now? Submitted by Tammy on Mon, 2008-10-06 22:53.
I'll have to try that gnat remedy of yours. I found a great gnat trap and it works. It's the "not so great escape gnat trap". Pour some apple cider vinegar into a small bowl. Take some plastic wrap and fit it over the top of the bowl, TIGHT. Stretch it out and put a rubber band around the top edge. Poke a few (3-4) small holes on top, swish the vinegar around and leave it on counter(or wherever they roam) and watch them collect after awhile. Happy gnat trapping! Gina ...we have another type of gnat trap that seems to work pretty well. If you take a glass and place a bit of ripe banana in the bottom of it then place a funnel on top (small end down) they can get in but not out. It works pretty well. I have recently used this very same method of catching gnats. Within hours you can see all the gnats you didn't see. TY they gather on our back porch. So one day I was trying to get our carpet back in from cleaning it...I had to leave the back door open to do so. They came in and we have had an awful time getting rid of them. Will try the above!! We have used fly strips with sticky glue on them..they did cut them back quite a bit. http://justanothermodestmom.blogspot.com/ A ton...and we've already had a couple of below-freezing nights that we thought would kill them...it just seemed it make them worse in the house. My two little brothers are becoming quite good aims with the fly swatter, anyway. :) Unfortunately. I've also used plain white vinegar and dish soap too. it works almost as well as cider vinegar. Best remedy for gnats is sweet wine in a bowl. Within a few days there will be a TON in there. Post new comment |

I just read about how to kill them here http://www.tammysrecipes.com/node/712
It works! I use 2 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar and 2 tsp of sugar with a drop of dish soap. Then cover the jar with saran wrap and a rubber band. Make a 1/4"hole in the top saran wrap.
They get in and can't get out. The soap takes away the film on top and they fall in and drown!
