Each year, thousands of Arizona residents email or call Rosie Romero’s radio show with questions about everything from preventing fires in their chimneys to getting rid of tree roots invading their sewer system. His goal is to provide answers that suit the specific lifestyle wherever someone lives in Arizona.
Q: We seem to be having problems around the house with little flying bugs or gnats. They particularly hang around in the kitchen near the sink. How do we get rid of them?
A: It may be because of problems with your garbage disposal. You may not be running it long enough and using enough water to get rid of all the food debris that goes down the drain. Try running the disposal a few times while putting some water mixed with bleach down the drain. You might also want to try some household insect control spray. All our moisture this summer has certainly created a large hatch of bugs of all kinds everywhere.
