gnats! Those pesky little bugs are driving me crazy! Is there some safe way to get rid of them? I don't want to spray bug spray or use bombs to get rid of them.

I got a knat trap sticky and ikky but they went to it and stuck and when it is all covered threw it away. but you have a source for which the knats come. A rotten potato is usally my source.

Good luck

you can put cider vinegar in a couple of saucers and they will drown themselves...

If they are coming from your houseplants, put a thin layer of sand on the top of the soil.

If you put some vinegar or wine in the bottom of a jar, cover it with plastic wrap and poke tiny holes in it, they'll find their way in but won't find their way out as easily before they drown. I've used this with much success.
