I have noticed that there are a million gnats hovering around our lawn, especially in our backyard, and now the buggers are coming inside. They seem to really like my hubby, which isn't a good thing as they are really annoying him. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of them? I have many houseplants and they don't seem to be coming from them. My husband thinks they may have come from the chicken fertilizer I used around the citrus and avocado trees. What do you think? Help!

If your citrus trees are bearing fruit right now, then the gnats are probably attracted to the fruit...but I am just guessing, as I know gnats & fruit flies love fruit. Here are a couple of web sites that may be helpful:

Thanks Chrissy. My orange tree does have fruit right now so maybe its a combination of things. They seem to have calmed down inside the house, its been a little bit cooler the last couple of days so maybe they all ran away. Keep your fingers crossed!
