ISO: HELP! I have knats in my kitchen.

Misc.
Please, someone help me. My house has been
invaded by knats!! Yes knats, thousands of them.
I have gotten ride of all my fruit aand vegetables, been very careful to put food away properly and clean up in the kitchen at all times.

We have gotten insects bombs and "bombed" the house, but that didn't help any with the knats. They seem to be attracted to light. So we have gotten fly strips and put them in specific places with just one light on to try to get control that way. Oh, we catch thousands of knats that way, but there are thousands more!!

Does anyone have an answer for this rather odd problem that has become cronic to us?

We can hardly watch TV for 10-15 knats crawling on the screen. My husband now stands guard at the TV with a fly swatter and gets his exercise swatting while watching.

I know this is a strange request, but I also know, that if anyone has an answer(or where we can find one) it will be here at the Recipe Link.

Wishing all of you Happy and Blessed Holidays!!
