I do despise those little pests. We have them here in the house most of the summer because Tommy brings so much produce from the garden in with them attached. We enjoy the fresh produce but I don't like the accompanying gnats. If I wash the bucket full as he brings them into the house, the washing seems to help get rid of them. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

Short but with many meanings and good advice, those gnats could come from eggs laid in unripe fruits. Making an apple cider vinegar trap with drops of dish soap and sugar will help eliminate them. Good luck in the contest

This made me smile Andrea. The gnats also come from potted house plants. They are in there when you buy the plant and you bring them home with you. Well done my friend. God Bless and thanks for the lovely reviews. Could use some prayer if y8ou don't mind. Just really, really tired and having some trouble at work. JB

so sorry for your problems, judy. I did not know that gnats could come from potted plant. Maybe that is what is happening. I have a plant over by where they appear!
