(37,648 posts)we had, that didn't kill them off? They're in my house. I keep looking for a source but haven't found one.
Then there's usually a couple of gnats flying around me at work. I wondered, "Did they follow me here? Are they in my clothes? What is it?"
I've never seen anything like it. We didn't have a winter to speak of, and I wondered at the time if bugs were going to be a problem this summer, since they weren't killed off last winter.

(29,792 posts)Ugh.....but we're having some great conversation.....well, we're listening to the Brewers getting killed by the Diamondbacks....and we're enjoying June 29th, the ACA being voted legal, and oh, by the way, smoking the good stuff is in the plan too.

(11,945 posts)I bought one for my husband to try. He's our family mosquito magnet. We live in a wooded area, and he said it worked really well. He used it tonight at the ball game and said it kept the gnats away. We're going camping in a week, and I'm getting one for each of us with extra refills. One cartridge lasts 12 hrs of fan time ( so if you use it 3 hrs a day, one cartridge will last 4 days).
Good luck! The bugs are horrible this year. I think it's because we didn't really have much of a winter.

"Good job, those people were tasty."
"I couldn't eat another kennedy."
"Hey man, save me a leg!"
