No matter how much you fumigate the outside, you can't get rid of all gnats. Mosquitoes, flies, biting gnats and moths can also be a problem at sunset and into the evening. The lights are going to draw insects from throughout DC.

Good luck with them trying to get into people's eyes, nose and mouth, flying into any food and drinks that might be around. Imagine being a wrestler who can't smack at them. Even spray-on bug sprays frequently don't work on those tiny annoying insects.

And it's going to rain these next 2 days. Not a lot. Just enough to encourage more gnats.
