dive-bombing me! I never had problems with nats before, but recently a friend of mine told me about the benefits of eating BANANAS! 😵

So I have to wonder... Did the nat come with the bananas? Possibly there were eggs laid? Cause if the nat was simply attracted by the smell of the banana, doesn't that seem strange? There were no nats before I bought the bananas so I'd like to know the relationship here.

Any suggestions?

Gnat is spelled like this. GNAT That's all I can offer for free.

The only suggestion I have is to move to a different place. Good luck!

Did you think they climbed out of a mud puddle?

Thanks ark13, I realized that later. Okay so I KILLED the attacking GNAT! Hey, it wasn't easy... We battled for over half an hour and I finally won. 😵 😲

But guess what??? There's now yet ANOTHER GNAT dive bombing me!!! 😠

GADS! What does this all mean??? Does it mean that I CANNOT have bananas in my apartment!? <GASP!>

Or is it a signal to the world for the coming "WAR OF THE WORLDS"!?
😲

I could only hope the world was going to end. Joy. Spray the the with enough raid to make you sick. Its always worked for me. On the plus side you can call in to work sick. On the down side you might be forced to make the ULTIMATE descision. snoogans!!

The only solution to a gnat infestation, which you now undoubtedly have, is to reduce your house to ashes and then salt the earth upon which it stood. Sorry about the bad luck.

I'd say if it was due to the banana, it was more likely to be a fruit fly than a gnat.

you missed your chance to grow teats (see jimslyp's similarly titled thread ... he called it a midge but tirau dan filled him in ...)

bananas are deprecated for people in mosquito-infested areas, it makes you smell more attractive to them ...

Yeah, fruit flies like a banana, time flies like an arrow.

Yes, a fruit fly. But isn't a gnat and a fruit fly the same critter?

By the way.... the 2nd gnat sits on my monitor and watches my chess moves. Maybe I'll keep him for a pet? I could name him GMgnat 😵
