Hi. I just moved and it's a new subdivision. There are some open fields with weeds that builders are waiting to start building houses on. There are also many new homes with new sod, grass seeds, hay, etc... I am not sure if that's why or if it's just the area/temperature or whatever reason, but there are TONS of gnats (what some people call "no-see-ums") near out house, and it's such a nuisance. They are so small it seems like sometimes they creep inside even the screens. Even as I type this one is fluttering onto my computer monitor! Is there anything we can do (aside from using a ton of insect spray and whatnot) to alleviate this problem a bit? Any tips or tricks can help. Thanks in advance!

well at lowes home improvemtent they sell fly strips that you hang up and the gnats get stuck to it these cost about two dollars and come in a four pack you can also use cutter backyard pest control this comes in a bottle that hooks to your hose pipe and covers five thousand square feet if you want to make your own you can mix sugar and water and vinegar in a bowl and set it outside other than that you are just out of luck haha
