    I need help. I have a decent sized yard with 5 fruit trees. Cherry, Peach, Apricot, Lemon and Orange. This is our first year here and we are overtaken with gnats. I have read how to get rid of them indoors what about outdoors. When I open the windows and doors at night they come in the house making me crazy. I have used insecticide in the grass but I dont think thats any help. Is it the trees? What can I do? Thanks Sarah

    There are plants which help deter insects, Try an indian bean tree Catalpa bignanoides, and mentha x piperita Eau de Cologne mint
