Gnat Question

Gnats, everywhere, swarming in little clusters. They don't bite or anything, and generally mind their own business. Does this indicate any problem? If I want them to become deceased, is there a safe way to do it around the pond? Try getting some yellow plastic and smear some motor oil on it with a rag (the spontaneous combustion problem involves veg oil, not mineral oils, so don't worry about burning the place down). Hang the plastic near the pond as an experiment. This is the sort of thing I'm thinking of: http://www.marchbiological.com/L/misc.html Sticky Yellow Cards Target pests: Whitefly, aphids, fruitfly, gnats & wasps The name says it all. They are cards, colored yellow with a sticky coating. Pests from aphids to wasps are attracted to the yellow color and get stuck and die. The best part is Beneficial Insects are not attracted to yellow so they will work together well. Lasts until completely covered. Use one or two in a greenhouse or garden to monitor if there is a pest problem or place every 10 to 15 feet depending on the level of infestation. 5 card per pack with hanging wire. Pack of 5 $3.25 The rest of the page is interesting as well. |
