[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 182491, member: 1963"] They're not gnats. They are fruit flies, and they are really annoying. Harmless, but obnoxious. The eggs come in on the fruit and hatch, pupate and turn into flies all within a few days. The adult flies do not eat. They live in order to reproduce. All you can do is make sure you have no fruit left out, and oddly, nothing with BEER in it. Some people swear you can get rid of the adults by leaving out saucers of beer (like for slugs). The adults are attracted to it and drown while attempting to lay their eggs. [/QUOTE]
