What kind of vinegar are you using? Apple Cider works best for me. Those UV catchers don't work for shit but they can be nice night lights.

Nope. If the old soapy apple cider vinegar trick doesn't work then I guess you might have to get a portable bug zapper or something.

This doesn't work on gnats. This is more of a fruit fly thing. I killed all the gnats in my house by making everything was bone dry and using a combination of regular sticky glue traps and electric glue traps.

Worked for me. Apple cider vinegar, sugar, water and soap. Cover it with perforated plastic

Not currently but I have in the past. My solution was a combination of apple cider vinegar traps, plus using a vacuum hose to suck up the stragglers (wait for them to land at night, they dodge easier while already airborne)

No. In fact the ones you're looking at now are probably the kids of the ones you saw yesterday.

I've had a few in the past and the vinegar traps work incredibly well. Try some different mixtures because there really isn't anything better.

Have you tried closing your windows?

Now that you mention it yeah, when outside, weirdly enough. I was up in Chicago for work the other week and a few times had to fling several off of me. Now back home I had a couple in me just today at the gas station. Weird.

Get a UV light trap without a fan. They work.
