GNATS

When I was cleaning my basement I had to find a solution for gnats. Anyone who gardens and brings produce into the house for the winter will understand. A few stragglers come in on the food (onions, potatoes, squash, etc.) and then they multiply. No matter how often you pick out any food that is starting to go bad; you still cannot get rid of them.

Well, I had hundreds of gnats to get rid of before our get together. Not willing to fumigate, I got to thinking about something that works for apple trees to keep the worms out. I put one cup of vinegar in a jar, with a cup of sugar. Worked like a charm. Within a couple of days I had a jar full of drowned gnats. ( I had a picture too- but the computer... Ah well, it was pretty gross anyhow!)
