Gnats :-(

What about vacuuming up some spray? Rather than shooting the spray into the nozzle, direct the spray a few inches in front of the nozzle so that (most of?) the propellant is dissipated before the spray enters the motor.

Only if you're a nanny yourself. Real men make DDT in the kitchen sink:

Hang a few fly strips.

Anteater?

Fill a bowl with some vinegar. Cover it with plastic wrap and poke lots of holes in it that are just big enough for them to enter. Gnats are attracted to vinegar and will find their way in, then die.

Dish soap and water will work too.

What a complete and utter load of bollox!

A year or two ago some nut posted vids of his antics when he had a pile of old vacuum cleaners to play with, he set one up on a table in his back garden, switched it on and stuffed the hose into a bucket of petrol.

Sure enough the sparks from the brushes ignited the fumes and the vacuum cleaner did a fair impersonation of a jet engine with a lick of flame out the end, it kept going quite a long time before the bearings siezed and the motor whent phut.

I have a small mains powered (220V) handheld vacuum cleaner that I used to catch wasps, moths and other flying insects, and I always gave it a squirt of fly spray, that never once ignited and even if it did it wouldn't do any more than singe any accumulated fluff.

Oh, you have to put a bit of ripe banana peel in there too.

Is there much of a bat population there? Don't know how well they do with gnats but with moths and mosquitoes they are rather effective.

Would probably be good for catching fruit flies as well.

Do you yell 'FORE' before taking your shot? ;-)

Would that work on dirty politicians if you used a couple dollars in change, instead of the banana peel?

Unmarked hundreds, maybe.

I'm like the famous Houston Police solution to multiple 7-11 robberies and killings... Bang! Bang! "STOP... Police!" ;-)

Really happened, IIRC, around 1968. We were visiting the parents-in-law in Houston. I was delighted :-) ...Jim Thompson

That suddenly makes sense... those damned gnats will find a glass of wine about as quickly as you can pour it :-(

Maybe something like a cat watering fountain, but with recirculating cheap white wine :-) ...Jim Thompson

Its fun to stand on the edge of a golf course and shout "SKIN" after anyone shouts "FORE".

Nah, you'd have to use a tea bag.

"I love cooking with gnats... sometimes I even put it in the food"? :)

If you say so. I prefer a freon powered sports horn, while they are swinging their club.
