    I've had mosquito dunks recommended to me in the past. They are probably less expensive and I think it's the same general makeup as gnatrol.

    I have some sticky traps stuck in the bottoms of windows, not only do they catch the little buggers for me, which there are a few small guys on there so far, but they have prior to now been used for large bug control, the nasty wasps tend to find their way in the house some how on me. But I just now looking at the sticky traps see that they have caught a few of the small bugs too.

    Thanks for the tip though just the same.

    I'll have to look that up, and see what the best way for me to obtain some is. The Gnatol I have from a while back(not to the expiration date for a year or so) when I was nursing a bunch of young plants that required a fairly high soil moisture. So I'll use that until it's gone then I'll have to give mosquito dunks a shot if the issue still exists.
    Thanks for your assistance.
