Sometimes I even put it in the food. DDT works great. Don't worry about all that leftist anti-DDT "science" - it's perfectly safe for humans. My uncle had an atomizer installed on this forced-air HVAC system so could just set-and-forget. -- Joe

If it kills gnats I can't imagine it being harmless for pets etc. Gnats are attracted to food but most of all to moist places. So make sure there is no "smellable" food anywhere and also that there are no indoor plants with very moist soil. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.

Some vacuums use the air from the vacuum outlet to cool the motor, and the motor has exposed brushes. The fact that 'fly spray' is usually flammable, and brushes spark, will help prove the big bang theory quite effectively! > otherwise >they'll just fly back out again. > |
