Hey guys I'm guessing b/c of the change of seasons and whatnot, recently I have had a serious gnat (maybe fruit flies? idk) problem in my apartment. These things are a terrible nuisance as they keep flying into my face whenever i'm studying or on the computer. Also, they seem to love my room since it's right next to the door. Every time it opens i'm guessing they just fly in. Anyways, it's getting rather frustrating because there's always at least 2-3 of them and they are almost impossible to kill by hand because the little buggers are so fast. It's not a matter of cleaning either, b/c I clean often and thoroughly. Anyone had this problem before? Any suggestions on how to get rid of them?
If they are fruit flies, put a little bowl of apple vinegar or honey on a counter and they will drown themselves. Muahahahaha.
1/2 cup apple cigar vinegar with a few drops of dish soap. Leave it out on the counter and watch them collect
EFF YOU MAYNE. Btw, i'm upset we wont get to ball for a while <br> wut? <br> <br> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You guys were right about the vinegar and dish soap. Good call! Thanks and rep'd :grin:
<br> No plants, though I figure the foliage outside probably houses them. Um and there is fruit in the kitchen. Regardless, they are pretty pesky and i'm glad at least a few of them are gone.
Get a bunch of those sticky fly paper things and hang them up, problem solved. Or does that not work with gnats? It should....
I may be back this coming up weekend. If so, there will probably be basketball happening. I'll let you know if I come in/basketball happens.
Keep a spray around you. If you don't have any kids or pets and aren't really concerned with the health risks spray the f@$kers with a healthy, unhealthy rather, dose of chemicals. I use Febreeze whenever I want to kill a bug, but windex is effective as well.
Get yourself a banana. Stick it under some saran wrap in a bowl or plate. Poke holes big enough for the gnats. Go to bed. Wake up. Kill the mfers in the trap.
I kill them with beer. One night I got really hammered and I didn't finish my last 40oz. So when I woke up I kept seeing gnats right by my bed, because that is where the open bottle of King Cobra was. They kept flying inside and drowning. It was like maybe 1/8th full. So I set it where I saw most of them, and everytime one would sit on the opening, I would close my hand over it and shake the bottle. Drowning them... over and over, until I had a bottle of hot beer and gnats. Never had gnats again. that's some bachelor frog type of ****.
