Gnats!!
 
After weeks of them just getting worse and following all the suggestions of how to get rid of them, I think I finally found the answer!!

Spray them with hair spray!!

I've used hair spray for bugs too. Kind of makes you wonder what it's doing to us. :)

I use whatever is in the closest spray bottle to kill flying insects, except for wasps. It might take a couple of sprays, but usually kills whatever I am aiming at. Never thought of hairspray, but will be sure to try that next time. Thanks for the hint.

Years ago, there was a huge spider in the bathtub and no bug spray around. DD and I used hair spray to kill it. Don't know if the hair spray killed it or if we just drowned the bugger. :D

I use whatever is handy to spray on flys, small bugs of any kind. Windex, bathroom cleaner ,hairspray, any spray usually gets them. For big bugs I run for the Raid (unscented).:p
