While not a fanatic, I do try to keep my
apartment at least sanitary. Much to my surprise, I was infested with small
black and grey flying bugs that multiplied at an astonishing rate. What they found
to eat I can’t imagine.
Went the chemical route, sprays and
foggers, with no noticeable reduction. Fly paper got some of them but not
enough. Google is your friend and I found the apple cider vinegar postings. It
works. Vinegar, water, and a few drops of liquid soap in a dish. Set one out in
each room and wait a few days.
They must lay eggs that take their own
time hatching. Weeks will pass then I start seeing them flitting about. Reset
the traps and a few days later they are gone.
The problem with all of this is it leaves
your apartment smelling like the end of a three day drunken party. Not
unpleasant, but visitors tend to look at you askance.
If you have made it this far, you now
know how boring my life is, if this is
the best I can come up with for a blog posting.

I didn't realize that your life included visitors.
Sisty
Sure, say whatever you want.
Neighbors, among others.
Oh lawdy. Aliens. Intruders. Kill, murder, death. Hey, at least they aren't in your shorts.
Those #$#%&# gnats are a PITA! But what you found does work!!! :-)
In my shorts? Sounds interesting.
It works but takes awhile, usually around ten days for my problem.
We get them eveyr now and them, too. And the vinegar does work... if we can keep the cat away from the dish.
Weird cat!
