Be careful with borax if you have pets .
50 50 borax and sugar desalved in water.
I like to break up some bread in small pieces and put it in a sealed container.
Soak it up good with the disalved solution.
Make holes in the container for ants to access, they will take it back home and helps rid the nest .

I like the Ortho product called Home Defense.
It doesn't take too many bites from fire ants or scorpion stings to make it look really cheap.

This is a good one for black widows and wasp nest it annihilate them and they don't build back for a long time.

The Terro liquid is great for the small house invading ants, basically a sugar water and borax mix.

Once the ants find it they bring it back to the nest and lights out. might take a couple days for a large colony.

I need to find out what my yard guy sprays. He sprays once a year for weeds and ants and you can roll around butt naked in the grass with no stickers or bugs of any kind getting on you. You can set a bowl of sugar or honey outside and no bugs whatsoever.
Now if anyone has a recipe for gnats I’m all in!!

If you are talking about Buffalo gnats which we never had years ago. Only thing I found is vanilla extract that is applied like bug spray and it keeps them off me
