Shaun. Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I have been suffering all summer and just noticed this morning (for the first time this year) that my Supe has Gnats again ! I don't know if any of you guys with bright colours get the unwanted attention but for some reason my car always attracts them and makes it look like it has black spots all over it. Now there could be one of two reasons for this, 1) my car is attacking them like flies to **t or as I prefer to think - 2) they think they have it the Gnats equivalent of the lotto and found the biggest flower this side of Alan Titmarsh's greenhouse. (it's not a poll btw:) ) Little flying buggers Shaun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I've heard of certain insects being attracted to some types of wax/polish. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 does anyone remember that bloke last year (sorry can't remember the name?!) who had all those weird white insects all over the bonnet...? very scary...

Supra-Dupra Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 In the summer I get cockroaches flying from the nearby trees onto the roof, I have seen 2 or 3 do it within a min or so, just after i pulled up, I first thought I hit my dog the bugger was so big ! but I live near a major river, in the countryside !

Shaun. Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 Well if in doubt Google it ! "Lastly, if the adult fungus gnats are bothersome, trap them by making your own sticky trap. The adults are attracted to the color yellow." Hmmm .... lets see how attracted they get when i hit 4000 and number 2 comes on-line Shaun.

GazzaGSi Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I've heard of certain insects being attracted to some types of wax/polish. Just a thought. In summer I get wasps all over mine, read the meguires ingrediants and it contains honey... Guess that was my answer. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
