ATOT's advice was useful for once

[Fayd]

At one point in the past, someone asked for help on getting rid of flies/gnats in the kitchen. Someone else responded that a pool of apple cider vinegar, with a squirt of dish soap, will cause flies to fall in and drown when they try to drink it.

I was beset by gnats, but i remembered this advice. lacking apple cider vinegar, i used red wine vinegar, but it works, and now i have around 20~ dead gnats collected in the base of a small dish.

So, thank you ATOT, you did something useful for once.

Just looked outside, saw a few pigs flying.

Well what are you waiting for? Deploy the vinegar & detergent. 🙄

If ATOT had any really useful ideas on getting rid of pests at least 3 or 4 posters would have disappeared already.

So... Is this actually taking care of your problem? From what I've seen with people that have gnats, it's almost like kill 1, 5 more come.

You mean someone here gave you good advice on purpose? We need to call a meeting about this. Banning may be in order.

actually i have gotten good advice most of the time. the trick is weeding out the trolls.

Best thing i found for gnats is a few ounces of Oberon beer by bells brewing. I left some in a glass over night and in the morning it had a bunch in it.


they love the beer as much as i do!

covering the fruit and trash works pretty well for me.

Seems to be working thus far. I don't expect miracles, so it takes time for then to come and drink, but they eventually do.

I have a covered trash can. I'm sure that helps, but it doesn't completely solve.
