This wet (and cold) winter, due to global warming ;-) has left us here
in AZ over-run with gnats as the weather warms up.

They're even getting into the house.

Any convenient solutions?

If a swarm forms indoors, suck them up with a dust buster vacuum cleaner -
squirt some fly spray into the nozzle before switching off,

Do NOT do that! Some vacuums use the air from the vacuum outlet to
cool the motor, and the motor has exposed brushes. The fact that 'fly
spray' is usually flammable, and brushes spark, will help prove the
big bang theory quite effectively!

otherwise
they'll just fly back out again.
