We’ve been having a huge problem with gnats, lately. So, I declared war - in the form of liquid dish soap and white vinegar. Kind of like High Fructose Corn Syrup is for humans - only this works a little faster. Enjoy your twinkie
(PS- If you were wondering if my methods had made an impact, I would like to assure you that they have. Judging by the bodies I had to empty out this morning, we had more gnats than I thought. Unless of course they can reproduce after they’re dead? I didn’t think so.)

I'd love it if you stalked me (subscribe to my RSS feed). Thanks for visiting!

LOL…I’m going to try that, even though it’s not FDA approved. We have LOTS of gnats here in KY!

I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news…. I reallllllly don’t. However, my father was using this concoction. And while his little traps were full of the things, all seemed well… but the population wasn’t exactly going completely away. I asked Gary (Mom’s on again off again)… he works for Servall (pest control and all you know). He said the vinegar actually attracts more that wouldn’t have visited hence the continued population.
You might want to watch out for that. I don’t remember what he said the solution was. I know, I’m good at remembering bad news and not good at remembering the helpful good news. Dang it. Maybe it will work for you and you will disprove my source. I hope.

That’s cute, Ash!
It’s a homeremedy I was unaware of, but now I know next time we have the gnats follow us in. Does it work on flies, too?
