The Hunger Games : Gnat Edition


Recently we have seen tiny little gnats in our house, probably because it had rained a lot. They were attracted to the fruit we keep on our countertop in the kitchen area.  These little creatures are very annoying and we wanted to get rid of them fast, so we declared WAR!! We called it "The Hunger Games: Gnat Edition".  My mom would be the "Master Mind" and I would be the "Game Maker".

The Master Mind covered the bowl of fruit with a cloth so the gnats would not be attracted to the smell of bananas but they still were coming around. She decided to hide the fruit in the microwave so they would not smell it any more. I, the Game Maker asked a friend who said to put honey and dish soap in a bowl to attract them and lead them to their doom. This went on for a whole week and I'm happy to report it worked.  SUCCESS AT LAST!!
