Go fishing! The fish love gnats. Unfortunately, they are pesky little things. The best thing to do is get "bug zappers" and wear bug screen. There isn't much else you can do. There is just one other thing (after putting up a bug zapper) is to have a fan in the room blowing on medium. Bugs don't like a strong breeze. Good luck Marcy

If an insect does not have wings how does that help the insect?

Flying insects are one of three members of a group known as hexapoda (literally, six walking appendages). True winged insects do have wings as adults. Every one of them. Two pairs of them, in fact. Sometimes the top pair hardens and becomes a protective shell for the insect and the lower pair of wings (beetles), sometimes the lower pair becomes nothing more than a vestigial, and is only used to stabilise flight (bees and some flies), sometimes both pairs of wings are developed for warning against predators and for courtship displays (butterflies and moths). A class called parainsecta (of which silverfish and firebrats are members) has all the characteristics of flying insects apart from the wings. The question of whether an animal has wings or not is entirely down to evolutionary necessity.

What make flies poop?

Actually, just like humans, insects need to get rid of waste after they have finished digesting food. Insects excrete their waste, but if you don't know what to look for, you won't see it because it is much smaller than human waste or the droppings of certain animals. When flies excrete (poop), it usually looks like little black dots (fly-specks), which are most often observed in places where there is an infestation of flies.
