Gnats from retention pond
 

Looking at a CYV that backs to a retention pond. The bugs on the lanai screen are horrible. I’m sure this a dumb question but is this a year round issue? I
We’re rethinking this “view site”

Sure they are not love bugs???? it is our bi-annual two week period. Should be gone in a week or two.....

Not love bug. Little green bugs

A simple way to get rid of gnats.

In a cup put 1/2 cup of water, 3 TBSP of sugar, 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar, and 6 drops of dish soap. The sweetness of the liquid attracts them and the sticky dish soap holds them down. Set the cup anywhere in the area.

No it is not a year round problem. You might be seeing blind mosquito's that will sometimes swarm for up to two weeks in the general area of any kind of water or pond. They do not bite and individually die within 48 hours of showing up. Like love bugs they can be a nuisance but don't show up very often nor last very long. Welcome to Florida! :)
