Gnats have just started showing up at work. I wonder if my boss will let me put out glasses of Amaretto... Probably not a good idea. We already have problems with some of the guys showing up drunk. Or just flat out drinking on the job. It's sad, really.

[tejas]

Y'know, I'm not sure, but grabbing this up and downing it might just put someone off drinking completely. :-)

It hit me the other day that vanilla extract might work, too.

Sure wish that worked for mosquitoes! We hates them, we do.

[tejas]

I haven't been all that bothered with mosquitoes yet. I wonder if we have more geckos over here or something.

Or maybe our evil plan to ship all mosquitoes *outside* the loop is now working. :-) (You live what, five miles from me? Maybe? :-)

All I have in the house is Frangelico...I wonder if gnats like hazelnut?

[tejas]

Probably. :-) The other liqueurs I have on hand are Kahlua and Godiva Dark Chocolate. Amaretto's sweeter than both of those. *shrug* Give it a shot.

Think of it as leaving them as a warning to others of their kind. *eg*

I wonder if it works with fruit flies...

[tejas]

The best thing about fruit flies that I've seen is to get rid of whatever they're feeding on and they vanish in about three days. I think that's the extent of their life cycle.

Sadly, rotten fruit seems to have a tropism for places humans can't see. :-)

That's so disgusting, but I bet it's really satisfying.

[tejas]

Very disgusting.

*VERY* satisfying. ;-):-)

I'll probably dump it later and start fresh to see if there are any stragglers. I'm not seeing any, but that doesn't mean there aren't a few left.

[averysmallthing]

It's a really great tip to know. *thumbs up*

[tejas]

Always glad to help, especially when it's something that doesn't require spraying vast amounts of poisonous chemicals into the air. ;-)
