Bug Problem – Any tips?
I have an infestation of gnats in my bedroom. Needless to say, it’s DISGUSTING! I do not have any food in my room, and I throw my trash out regularly. But I live in a room in my basement, so I think perhaps the gross little buggers enjoy that environment. I have a big tub of indoor use bug control poison that is used to kill and prevent insects and arachnids for 9 months. I sprayed the buggers down two days ago and most of them died, I found most of them in my closet, where I believe they “nested” or whatever (ugh!). I sprayed that place thoroughly. Now today, I started seeing a few more of them flying around. I looked in my closet and found a few more alive. Again, I sprayed the place down. I am not a rich man AT ALL. I cannot afford the overpriced pest control services out there, especially when I am working a part-time job, bringing in maybe $200 every other week. My folks are just as poor as my and can hardly afford anything as it is. What can I do to get rid of Extremely annoying and gross nuisances? Please, please, please respond with any answers or even tips! Thank you!
UPDATE: I have found the source and I have sprayed it down with the bug spray. Hopefully this will kill, if not force the things to retreat. I have also put a citronella candle in my closet (closest locat to source).

Man, I’m in the same boat as you except mine don’t fly. I’m so poor and I don’t know what to do. Sorry I can’t be of assistance but if anyone answers my question I’ll let you know and maybe it will help you too? Maybe you could do the same for me? Best of luck with your pests.
Also poor with a pest problem.
