Tired of gnats buzzing around your outdoor meals? They're especially frustrating during a quiet lunch on the veranda. As someone who's tested countless home pest remedies, I recommend this simple, reliable trick to trap midges (small gnats) effectively and for good.
The method: Lightly coat a plate with oil and shake it through the swarm. See the results below:
1. Grab a plate or bowl (plastic works best).
2. Lightly brush it with oil.
3. Shake the plate in the swarm of gnats.
There you have it—gnats caught mid-air! :-)
Any cooking oil will do.
This works because the gnats stick to the oil and can't escape. Plus, the oil draws them in.
It even handles other small flying insects.
