Motherf***ing BANANAS!

[ErikaRobin]

When will I learn to stop buying these godforsaken things?  Every time I do, we end up getting gnats.  I fucking HATE gnats.

(I hope I punctuated this properly and didn't mistake a dead gnat carcass for a period or something.  Stupid shit bugs.)

So to recap:  Bananas + Me = Gnat-filled house of annoyance.

Take a quart jar, put two fingers high of white vinegar, add a tiny slice of.banana;) and make a loose cone shape out of a piece of.papers, then tape it in.place, the gnat go in but cant get out:)

Yep..gnats cone standard with the purchase of fresh bananas. :)

You're welcome..said no body ever.

Quoting WildCat73:

I wonder if that is why i am getting them. I kept trying to figure it out. And they always come when i buy Bannanas.

Quoting norahsmommy:

I spray mine with vinegar when I bring them home. I noticed that seemed to help. It doesn't affect how they taste.

No shit?!  Well, hell.  I'll have to try this!

[brettsmomma]

I put my fruit in the fridge.

Usually free stuff rocks...

That's one bonus we can do without.

AND your fruit will be soft and fluffy!!

Haha..sorry..I couldn't resist ;)

Quoting epoh:

Put a dryer sheet around your fruit. That works to keep them away.

But the bananananananas don't look like bananananananas if I put them in the fridge, Tammie.  They look grody.  I just can't do that to the poor things.

I have never tried it with Apple cider vinegar and we never add sugar, just white vinegar. They like the smell.

Quoting ErikaRobin:

Quoting brandi2781:

Put out a cup of vinegar covered with plastic with small holes poked in it. It attracts the gnats and they cant get out!

Apple Cider Vinegar, yes?  But I'm supposed to put in like a tablespoon of sugar too, or something. 

[sbreece]

Haha! I agree! What's the purpose of a gnat anyway?
Oh they're put here just to piss me off??

Mission..accomplished.
