Lawn "gnats"?
Every time I walk through my grass, there are hundreds or even thousands of tiny bugs that I can only describe as looking like gnats. They seem to “fly” or jump very low to the ground when I disturb the grass. I’ve had them for months now, but I’m not seeing any noticeable lawn damage. Google keeps telling me they could be fungus gnats, but I’m not convinced that’s what they are.
They’re there pretty much regardless of the time of day, and I see them whether the grass is dry or wet.
Has anyone dealt with something like this before? Any idea what they might be and, more importantly, how I can get rid of them? I’m assuming I’ll have to nuke them with insecticide, but I’d rather know what I’m dealing with before doing that.
