Default Biting Gnats

Anyone with any idea how to get rid of gnats in the garden? They are
only found in the garden and not found indoors. They are like mosquito
bites, only worse.



Avon's Skin-So-Soft Bath Oil spray keeps the midges and mozzies off without
using any active chemicals.

The midges are there because there is standing water for them to lay their
eggs in, so get rid of any places where water can collect (old pots,
buckets, children's toys and 'drip trays' etc) and you may find it makes a
difference. How much difference will depend on your neighbours' gardens too.
