I am having a problem with gnats inside my house. I have sprayed with some stuff that is suppose to get rid of them. Does anyone have any solutions to this problem?

if im right thats the small nat like fruit flies right.
if so
they have 9 lives...ha ha
and will be here with the roaches after were all gone......
well not really but you cant seem to get them all gone i think they breed like rabbits or rats.
try pouring bleach down you drains thats were they stay when you dont see them .also if you have a garbage dis** put egg shells and lemons down it weekly.
another little trick is the bottle trap..two leiter bottle put fruit pop ect in bottom of bottle not much tho then take a piece of paper roll a funnel with a little opening they will go in and cant get out once alot had checked in close a lid and put them in the trash..
also thos ugle fly tapes work to put them about your sink and in the bathrooms ect
also watch were you buy fruits and veggies they come in with you food..my troubles came with two stores kro**rs and walm**t .good luck and soon you will see a decrease in thos unwanted house guest.
if you have small kids i ve notice they are attracted to the smell of urnin like if your child takes there clothes and lays them in a basket they will hunt that down.so good luck..
also if you move they will reloacate with you.
my neice had them and they hid in her things and went for the ride to the new home...

Tapestry's right about fruit (especially bananas) attracting gnats. Also, I used to clean for a lady whe kept open (and empty) cans of Ensure on the floor. And she had ants and gnats.
One thing you can try is giving your kitchen a thorough cleaning, and making sure there are no sticky sweet spills anywhere. They can be sneaky, I know. Another thing you might try is keeping a bowl of vinegar out: That seems to get rid of the little bugs. And periodically scrub out your garbage can with either Lysol or Bleach.
Good luck!

Gnat are attracted to fruit that is left out on the counter especially bananas. Keep your bananas in something like a container with a lid.. there is some fly paper that you can put in corners that catches them too.. also fresh basil hung in doorways repels flies.
Hope that helps!
