Hi

Any suggestions on getting rid of annoying knats? I went to farmers market and came home with annoying knats that follow and aggravate,

I tried leaving vinegar out that got rid of some. I am my wits end. i am considering setting off a bomb. But the knat would prob hide till its over. Any insight or suggestions?

Thanks in advance. --65.60.xxx.xxx

Put out a bowl of apple cider converges with a few drops of Dawn soap in it. Wrap in plastic wrap and poke a couple small holes in the top. They’ll get in and not back out. --24.152.xxx.xx

They feed off rotting organic matter. I have had them in and around my dish strainers before. If you bleach the crap of those areas, you destroyed the environment where they thrive.

Other places I see them, especially this time of year - is from when I clear out the last of the tomatoes from the garden and put them outside on my picnic table to get sun ripened. That tells me that I have let one go too long. --24.101.xxx.xxx

Walmart also sells an ultraviolet light sticky trap. We’ve had good luck with those for house flies and fruit flies. We do alot of canning and both are always a problem. I’ve started putting them in vacancies to catch any rogue bugs. --24.152.xxx.xx

I ended up solving a fruit fly infestation with a fogger. Didn't have time to trap them .... had company coming.

Just cover the smoke detector with a plastic bag before hand. --198.168.xx.xxx

Ha, that could be some expensive bait.

What NE said above works well (with the vinegar in a glass to trap them) -- we've done that a couple of times. Good results.

I have a fairly large one, on the kitchen counter, and it always works for me. --76.92.xxx.xx

The trick with an outside bug zapper is that it has to be the strongest light source or they will ignore it.

I have one in my garage on a timer. We get the occasional bug in there and they are always gone the next morning.

Just remember to clean the carcasses on a regular basis, especially if used in a kitchen. --107.147.xx.xx

I buy cheap sticky traps that fold into a triangle and put one above the fridge, one by the base of the couch and elsewhere where I see them. A popular brand is Dr. Killagains. --73.2.xx.xx

Put vinegar in the drain, then put out vinegar with a few drops of Dawn dish soap in it. Dawn changes the surface tension of the vinegar so they drown instead of flying away. --216.23.xxx.xx
