Attack of the Gnats.

For some reason or another, I am having a gnat "issue" in my place. 
It started out as a few annoying little buggers but now, I see as many as six of them in my room. 
It was time to take action. 

I tried a couple of things like putting honey on the rim of a bottle to attract them to it and then drown. But, no, no luck was had. So now I've pulled out the big guns. I haven't taken a picture of it but basically, I filled a cup with apple cider vinegar and some dish-soap. Then I covered the cup with cling wrap and poked holes in it so the gnats can fly in but not out. They will hopefully drop into the vinegar-soap pool where the gooey soap will trap them and the vinegar will singe them. I. Can't. Wait.   

Then, I poured bleach down my drains and let it sit for about 20 minutes (this is safe, I looked it up) just in case they laid eggs in mah sink. EWWWWW.

All of this was found on the internet by the way. I don't want to use chemicals so lets all cross our fingers and say a prayer (because gnats are very annoying) that in the morning, I will wake up to floating dead gnats. It will just start my day off right.
