You can always introduce a natural predator

Or if you do not need that many

Another method is Bacillus thurengiensis spores (Bt) but you have to get the right kind :thumbright:

An excerpt from a post I made a while back, along with the link that may help -

Quote:
Gnatrol or Mosquito Dunks might help (depending on what kind of gnats they are) - these are a strain of Bt that works on fungus gnats, black flies and mosquitos. Here's a good article that has a summary table at the bottom to show what strains control what pests (and the products that contain them are listed next to the strain name)- http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/insect/05556.html

Wow thanks guys! Great help. I think I am going to get Israelensis strains BT. It makes sense. But I do need to introduce some good bugs as well.
They are pesky critters.
Thanks for the GREAT articles as well. Saved that one from the Colorado Extensions Office.
Will let you know what happens. Getting ready to harvest some fish. :)
