WhiteHatPhil Posted Sunday at 08:16 AM Share Posted Sunday at 08:16 AM Has anyone managed to successfully deal with those incredibly small gnats (I think they are known as Eye Gnats because that's what they aim for; eyes, mouth and nose). I have tried the 'eggs-&-water-in-a-bottle' trap which failed miserably. I can't seem to find where they are breeding, so I am looking at some pyrethrins (sp?) insecticide to lay down all around the outside of my house. But no idea what to buy yet, and if it will actually work. Any (sensible) suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only relief I have found is clapping each time one comes near...other day one went up my nose - I kept sneezing for over an hour before I was able to purge it out...so tiny and usually slapping at first the air pressure would blow it out from between my hands but I got quicker and now can keep them at bay!

rwill Posted Monday at 10:47 AM Share Posted Monday at 10:47 AM Do you use hair spray? That seems to attract them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be just the pheromones. Edited Monday at 11:43 AM by digger70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also to stop them getting on skin abrasions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandtee Posted Tuesday at 04:56 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:56 AM ARS Jet Gold spray works. Those flies have a habit of getting in the ends of my retractable blinds. When I wind the blinds out they attack. Wear a mask when using this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
