I have 2 methods of dealing with them:
1: fill a cup with about 3/4 cider vinegar and 1/4 water. Add a few drops of dish soap. Set it in the place where the gnats are. You don't need to use a big cup, small will do just fine. Replace every few days with new as the cup get gross with dead gnats.
2: This has worked very well for me, but it takes a bit more time. I keep my vacuum sweeper out, close to the gnats. 1 or more times a day, I turn it on, take the wand, disturb the gnats so they fly, then just vacuum them up. I usually will then vacuum up a little cat hair etc to keep the gnats from escaping the vacuum cleaner. I was surprised at how well it worked. I had to do it for a few days in a row, then I take a break until more gnats hatch then do it again. Until no more hatch.
