Unfortunately, two places I checked nearby didn't have any in stock. I've been using a long foam hand soap mixed in water to catch gnats and that has been working very well.

I figured out one special source of these buggers. I had a bag of potting mix wrapped up and stowed away, but apparently there was a small hole in the side of the bag. The gnats found it, went inside, and started an enormous colony. It became a gnat factory. Didn't matter how many mosquito bits or soapy water I utilized... the gnats just kept appearing. Thankfully I figured out the break in the chain! Pesky little rascals.
