you limey's will probably bite on this one ........ aerial combat with gnats, not your raf jet, the actual bug!! ya :finga: we've got the annoying bastards & plenty of them. all fruit/ veggies are fridged. just for kicks i told my wife to google "how to kill gnats. she came up w/this!! & they both work!!

method 1 - vinegar in bowl w/ saran wrap. rubber band around bowl w/ saran wrap tight. poke holes in wrap big enough for the little s.o.b.'s to crawl in, empty & change every other day.

method 2 - hairspray, yes hairspray!! it weighs down their wings & they crash like a a fokker in a silent old ww 1 dogfight movie scene. i need to get a life!! :shock: :? :Hangman:

Silly Silly Mr.Friedman,
are you not aware of the fact that" Gnats " never signed the Geneva accord that outlawed chemical weapons? What this means is that you(or I) can go down to our local chemical weapon dealer (ralphs supermarket or home depot) and purchase the most lethal chemical weapons ever devised by man (Raid or similar) you can then unleash a major can of whupass upon these ravenous hoards.
Remember what the chemical co's used to tell us "Better living through chemistry" and "Without chemicals,life as we know it would not be possible" thank god for Monsanto and Union Carbide! at ease,soldier!

I use an adapted version of 'method 2'. I add the element of 'scorched earth'. Hold a lighter out in front of the spray from the hairspray and viola!!! Flamethrower.., they go down like a target drone just split in half by a Sparrow. :rolleyes: :finga:
