Why do gnats like mirrors




















Yep, I knew when I posted my reply someone here was gonna knock it out of the park. Hey it's all in good fun so what the hell. We're a little insane around here. I think they're spiking our Geritol. What we call them. Well I thought I was funny. Glad to know it's the Geritol. I thought it was the Puppy Chow. I think this pretty much sums it up There Ain't No Bugs On Me Oh there ain't no bugs on me There ain't no bugs, on me There may be bugs on some of you mugs But there ain't no bugs on me.

Mosquito he flies high, Mosquito he flies low Mosquito better no land on me, Or he won't fly no mo'. A peanut sittin' on a railroad track His heart was all a flutter.

Along came a big freight train Toot! Peanut butter! Oh there ain't no flies on me There ain't no flies on me There may be flies on some of you guys But there ain't no flies on me. Oh there ain't no lobsters on me There, ain't no lobsters on me There may be lobsters On some of you mobsters But there ain't no lobsters on me. Oh it ain't gonna rain no more no more It ain't gonna rain no more How in the heck can I wash my neck When it ain't gonna rain no more?

Well, the Juney bug comes in the month of June Lightning bug comes in May Bed bug comes just any old time But, they're not going to stay. They don't buzz, and they don't bite humans -- they're just an annoyance. Gnats often show up at the most inappropriate times -- like when you have company over for dinner -- and they like to hover around your face and head.

Gnats are drawn to light, so you may notice them first in bright rooms, near a window or on a mirror. Given this, getting rid of the gnats seems simple, right? Well, it's not quite that easy. This means that if you notice that you have a gnat problem but don't know where it's coming from, several dozen females can each lay a few hundred eggs in the time you spend looking for the source. It's a vicious cycle! You can, of course, kill gnats with household flying-insect spray and the old-fashioned fly swatter.

You could also create a trap by filling a jam jar or shallow pan with apple cider vinegar and putting it where the gnats are. But, how do you get rid of the critters? Orkin Canada claims a good sanitation program and professional pest control services are the best route to go.

Good Housekeeping has several options including creating a trap inside a glass of apple cider vinegar using plastic wrap and a rubber band. Another option is rolling a paper cone into a jar of ripe fruit. The narrow end of the cone makes it difficult for the flies to escape. Vinegar and dish soap is another idea, as using a bowl of the mixture uncovered can lead to flies drowning to death. Try to make the bathroom a less hospitable environment for the flies.

Remove any moist towels, mops or clothing in the bathroom. Fix any leaks, and wipe up any standing water. Control moisture and humidity in the room with a fan or vent. There are several DIY and store-bought options. Make your own trap with three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and water with a few drops of dish soap in a disposable cup. Cover the cup with plastic wrap secured with a rubber band, and poke a few holes in the plastic cover with a toothpick.
