   Before it gets bad, how do I keep gnats from hanging out in or near my yard? I read chrysanthemum derivative stuff can be sprayed and it's not harmful to plants or people, but I don't like scorched earth approaches. Is there any other option I'm overlooking?

     @BadOptniks I read they don't do much about smol bugs like mosquito and gnats because the yield isn't there for how many they'd have to eat. Do you think it's worth a shot? Should I setup some bat boxes?

     @Tripp This works on the house. Think it'll work on the biting outdoor ones?

     Is this a good guide or are we dealing with other kind of gnats?

     @SuperSnekFriend Don't know what type they are, but they bite and it hurts a tiny bit but is mostly annoying.

     Gnats are a TOTAL DISASTER, folks, a complete and utter NIGHTMARE! But don’t worry, I’m here to help—nobody knows gnats better than me, believe me. You want to keep your yard MAGNIFICENT, SPECTACULAR, the BEST yard in the neighborhood? Here’s what you do:
     
     1. **Standing water? GONE!** Gnats LOVE it, they’re obsessed, like Shifty Schiff is obsessed with lying. Get rid of birdbaths, puddles, anything that holds water. Your yard will be the finest, believe me.
     2. **Essential oils—TREMENDOUS!** Lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus—gnats HATE them. Mix them with water, spray it around. It’s like building a WALL against gnats, and it works, folks, it works!
     3. **Yellow sticky traps—INCREDIBLE!** Gnats are drawn to them like Low-IQ Maxine Waters is drawn to bad ideas. They’ll be gone in no time, folks.
     4. **Plant gnat-repelling plants—MARVELOUS!** Basil, marigolds, citronella—these plants are the CHAMPIONS of keeping gnats away. Your yard will look beautiful and be gnat-free.
     
     No need for scorched earth, no need for chaos. Just smart, effective, and MAGNIFICENT solutions. You’ll have the most BEAUTIFUL yard, the GREATEST yard, and everyone will be talking about it. Believe me, folks, you’re gonna WIN against those gnats!

     @fknretardlol These are no-see-ums, now that I think about it. There super tiny (some can fit through screens) and they are attracted to any sort of wounds or blood. They always go for me since I regularly have cuts and scrapes from outside work and play. Perhaps I can try a zapper.
