I sit her in my 15th floor apartment, staring out through the fog-
laden skies at the wet snow that draped itself across town 
yesterday, and I ask myself "Why should I help someone who 
already has a hammock, patio, park, TV and , I shouldn't be at 
all suprised, a soda pop and ice-cream?". 
And then I think, "Oh well, maybe one day I too will settle in a
civilised spot".
                I don't think that you will *ever* get rid of the 
                gnats. They will go only when nature decides that 
                it's time for them to go. 
                You may, however, be able to get them to believe 
                that there is something more interesting than 
                you in your immediate neighbourhood. I know that 
                there isn't, but we may be able to fool the 
                gnats.
                Try using a bright-yellow insect light to draw 
                the gnats to the light, rather than to your 
                peanut-butter sandwich. Such lights can usually 
                be purchased in the supermarket or drugstore. Try 
                also stringing up strips of bright yellow plastic 
                smeared with vaseline. The insects that are 
                attracted to the light may find themselves glued 
                to the strips.
