Household Tip #1

Most of my friends know, but not everyone, that I am a very 'domesticated' woman. I love cooking and baking, decorating and hosting, I even like cleaning when I am in the mood for it. I want to start a list of household tips I have learned, used and feel would benefit everyone. A lot of my friends are at a point where they are moving out of their parents homes and starting their own lives and for all my friends who do already live in the real world maybe there is a tip that could help them out. So if you have any tips/ tricks or trades that you would like to share with me, let me know and I'll add them to the list.

Household Tip #1 - Removing Gnats

So you left something on the counter too long or have something really smelly sitting in your trash and now you have gnats. At first it only seems like a few, but even after removing the smell/ trash out of your house they still seems to be around. Here is a sure fire way to get rid of them.

Gather the following things:
An Empty Jar
Apple Vinegar
Paper or Card Stock
Tape
Scissors

Cut and tape a funnel out of the paper or card stock, leave a small enough hole so that the gnats can get in but not out.

Tape down the funnel so that the bugs cannot get out any other way.

Leave it out on the kitchen counter or someplace open.

It really works and I'm really impressed how quickly too.
