Nuked them with brake clean. Which is basically alcohol and acetone. Was thinking of neem oil mix or just gold old fashioned salt. Since it's a squishy body.
I also happen to have medical grade 20% hydrogen peroxide!!! Muaaahahahhahahaha.... But that would burn the sidewalk
Let the lawn go to shit. Debt, bills, grand mother died, depression etc etc. Well it's time to get stuff together. So instead of pulling up the lawn, my brother and i decided to kill it all with fire, use the ashes of the fallen weeds and fertilizer for the new grass seed.
Burn it all with a weed torch. Got 90% though. Had two water hoses from .y house and one from next door ready, just in case. Had three 5lb fire extinguishers also.
But one of the ppl around got scared and called the cops. They called the fire department. So, 2 fire trucks, 6 police cars and an ambulance shows up.
One more fore truck was at the end of the street also. So a total of three fire trucks and the fire Marshal(which i happen to know).
They just told me in my city we are 110% now allowed to torch weeds as a form of treatment and all took off. I chatted with the cops about how messes up the city was and how they remember coming down here for break-ins.
Good times.
Probably the only thing that kept me from having to pay a big outcall fee for 1/4 of the fleet! Haha.
Seriously though they don't charge for that here. Not even the ambulances.
It's the dog walkers. They arnt even from here. Burning holes in my lawn. I mowe a 30-40 section of government land net to my property for the walker to use. And they still piss on my lawn. And complain about everything. Had one call parking enforcement for me parking my own car in front of my own house.

Had this one on my phone forever. Seemed appropriate 😂
Your dad is amazing. I would have probably filled it with acetylene or propane and blown my whole yard up. Like that one video. (Not this one)
You Gotta water a little less.
Those little nasty fuckers only show up when the soil is still moist over night & fungus starts to grow...
They are not a fungus, they are gnats. But still. If you only water 1x every 3rd day for 1hr Thwy will go right TF away!
I'm thinking 98% of us in this sub are dad's. I'm surprised the guy calling us put for sandals and socks isn't getting downvoted to hell.
If you use a string trimmer while wearing sandals you need the socks as PPE
Please. that’s lightweight stuff anyone could wear a shirt that says “dad” on it. Dime a dozen. Now socks in sandals. That’s dedication. True commitment. Absolute devotion.
except it's functional, not aesthetic.
it doesn't matter who else does it or if it becomes "gentrified." it doesn't matter at all. this isn't high fashion or whatever.
As someone who was given a pair of the most ugly crocs in the planet for Father’s Day, I rock those things with some socks and hot damn are they comfortable. I don’t even complain anymore. Don’t knock it until you try it. Once you try it, you won’t go back.

Southern Ontario BTW...
I looked it up. Fungus gnats are a kind of arthropod. Like arachnids. You can eat them. I always look up if bugs are eatable. Not all are. These, a little garlic and butter over white rice, maybe a sweet chili sauce. Probably good!!!!
Sadly something happened and they are all dead. Don't ask me what. I will deny it all.
# QUICK FACTS
* Fungus gnats are small, delicate bodied flies that commonly develop in the growing medium of houseplants and in greenhouses. Adult fungus gnats do not bite or feed but can be a nuisance when present in large numbers indoors.
* Larvae of fungus gnats are generalists that can affect plants grown in the greenhouse including a wide variety of vegetables. They feed on algae, fungi, and plant roots in the growing medium, which can reduce plant health and increase susceptibility to microbial infections, especially in seedlings and younger plants. Severe injury to roots is more common on plants grown indoors.
* Larvae of fungus gnats feed on algae, fungi, and plant roots in growing medium. Adults do not bite or feed.
* Fungus gnats can be controlled by allowing the growing medium to dry between watering.
* Some insecticides and biological control agents can be used to control fungus gnat larvae in growing media.
Oh fuck me I thought your sidewalk was cracked.
I was 100% unprepared for the last image 🤢
Me too, fucking took whatever I was thinking prior to straight yuck mode 🤮
I didn’t see the last image until I read your comment. I wish I could unsee that 🤮
It looked disgusting
Was much less unsettled when looking at the first pics than the last 🤮🤮🤮
I’m dead
It took this comment and the last photo to realize that wasn’t the case.
Username is fitting for this picture
I thought I scrolled too far
And filled with worms!
Sciaridae larvae
What do they turn into
Sciaridae
Isnt that a sexy red song?
No. It's an STD.
Is there a difference?
Unfortunately STDs and Sciaridae larvae and sexy redd are all the same things
“Not my diagnosis “
STDs and Sciaridae larvae think they 3 bad bitches when they photograph with sexy redd
LMFAOOOOOOOOO
GOB’s not on board.

I had no idea gnats were called that lol thanks
Sciaridae
A sciaridae keeps the larva away
The only good bug is a dead bug

I just watched this the other day 😅

Everything frys up good with some garlic and butter. ;)
R/cursedcomment
 I thought it was a crack in the sidewalk at first, now I’m traumatized
Fear not!! The migration was not a success. Their casualties are high! Survivors are doubtful. Their loss of the queen is absolute!
Down With The Queen!!!!
Fungus gnat train. Worth getting rid of the group while you have a convenient opportunity.
Looks like a 1:8 solution of 3% hydrogen peroxide with water would kill them off. https://fgsdurham.com/blog/helpful-tips-for-fungus-gnats/
Nuked them with brake clean. Which is basically alcohol and acetone. Was thinking of neem oil mix or just gold old fashioned salt. Since it's a squishy body. I also happen to have medical grade 20% hydrogen peroxide!!! Muaaahahahhahahaha.... But that would burn the sidewalk
The 20% can be diluted about 1:50, should do the trick
More like disintegrated
Hell yeah brake clean FTW
Why dilute it? Just dump the bottle of peroxide on them.

But did you light it on fire!?
I already had the fire department called on me once when I weed torched my whole lawn which was all weeds. Not setting my front lawn on fire again.
Now I bet that’s a good story! 😆

110% now allowed, or did you mean to say not allowed?
Not* sorry. ;)
Gotcha. I figured but wasn't sure since you mentioned knowing the fire marshall. Heh
Probably the only thing that kept me from having to pay a big outcall fee for 1/4 of the fleet! Haha. Seriously though they don't charge for that here. Not even the ambulances.
That sucks, I hate when people get nosey and start calling 911 for no reason

Wow, just make me hate people even more… I don’t need that level of petty to have to match
I swear of i had a nickel for everytime the fire department has stopped fun.
RIGHT!!!! BULL CRAP I TELL YEA
I thought this was America.
Damn dude. Any pics from that episode?
No, but it was quite the shit show.

My step dad had to go to the hospital when he filled an anthill with gasoline and lit it. Burned up his whole leg pretty good.
Your dad is amazing. I would have probably filled it with acetylene or propane and blown my whole yard up. Like that one video. (Not this one) 
It’s the thought that counts. We are all rooting for you.
I work for in equipment rentals, brake clean solves all things
When used appropriately... And that's always in excess.
It’s like a GE M134 minigun to wasps too. I fuckin love it.
Check it out. Independently targeting particle beam phalanx. VWAP!!!
It’s the only way to be sure.
Fuckin nightmare fuel, that’s what it is.
Thank you for my new Death Metal band name, Nightmare Fuel.
Is this the first time you've heard that?
That’s the go to response on Reddit I swear
This.
Right, he will have to change it to "Nightmare Combustible Fluid" to stay original
r/whatisthisbug may be of more help.
The first two pictures really don’t prepare you for the third one.
Idk the socks with sandals is pretty terrifying
That doesn’t apply to slides. Slides and sandals are the shit.
Looks like fungus gnats. They’ll eat your roots and kill the grass
They’ll scare your ass, while you’re taking out the trash. Make you late for class
Just stay out of my way. Or you’ll pay. Listen to what I say.
How about I just go eat some hay! I could make things out of clay or lay by the bay, I just may! What do you say?
Step inside walk this way
You mean you weren't filming "Slither 2" in your yard?
Shit. Maybe some neighbourhood kids were filming an indie version. Get off my lawn yeaaahhh kids!!
Time to sell the house 😭

I hate this so much.
Agreed. I need to stop looking at these pictures 🤮
Or. I could just murder them all!
Start a cult and make them do your bidding.
Have any neighbors you don’t like?
Nuke it from space It's the only way to be sure
You people are talking about his socks when he’s facing a BUG ARMAGEDDON!
Always wear your PPE
What a terrible day to have eyes. Life was fine until the 3rd picture. Damnit
Literally 😭 Hunh what's that? *Swipe* No seriously what *Swipe* Oh my god no.
I don’t know what it is but it’ll be on fire
That’s enough Reddit for today. Thanks
Any time
I remember this movie. It was the opening scene where no one thought anything of the creatures. But they all paid the price in the end. Except Ripley.
Interesting

Goa'uld spawn.
Wow, a fellow Stargate fan out in the wild!
Cmon man. Socks with sandals?
Uh hell yeah brother.full on dad mode. ;). That's actually why I put that pic first! Haha.

It is known.
Socks and sandals are a true OG move. Respect.
You’ll never be a real dad if you’re not rocking socks in sandals at some point. Just some try hard wannabe. Damn barefooters.
Never!
And here I thought it was just wear a shirt that says DAD on it, to the playground!
Please. that’s lightweight stuff anyone could wear a shirt that says “dad” on it. Dime a dozen. Now socks in sandals. That’s dedication. True commitment. Absolute devotion.
Hate to tell you this, but all the teenagers here ear white gym socks with slide sandals here. They’re gentrifying your aesthetic.
except it's functional, not aesthetic. it doesn't matter who else does it or if it becomes "gentrified." it doesn't matter at all. this isn't high fashion or whatever.
Not here to pick on anyone. Comfy is comfy.
The pinnacle of comfort, dude
As someone who was given a pair of the most ugly crocs in the planet for Father’s Day, I rock those things with some socks and hot damn are they comfortable. I don’t even complain anymore. Don’t knock it until you try it. Once you try it, you won’t go back.
Totally understandable. It’s thong sandals with socks that cross the line imho.
Best form of foot protection from the bugs.
What’s wrong with it?
Shoobee.
At least the socks are white. It's Sunday I guess.
Okay, what are you, the fashion police?
I was sure some delivery person with the runs had shat themselves and left a trail down your driveway. Then I saw the las picture.
In my town.near where I live. 100% that's a possibility.
Burn them all
Oh Thats just water- huh, DEAR LOR-

Fuck that, burn it all with fire.
Nothing salt won't fix, or fire
Ever seen Tremors?
A nightmare.
Socks with sandals? WTF?
I’m sad I woke up to this post. Now I don’t want breakfast
Have some noodles. ;)
thats the bad guy from princess mononoke
I’d spray them with hairspray blowtorch.
Lo Mein
“Don’t not eat that” is what I tell my kids when we see weird shit. P.S. I wouldn’t eat that.

These, a little garlic and butter over white rice, maybe a sweet chili sauce. Probably good!!!! Sadly something happened and they are all dead. Don't ask me what. I will deny it all.
Those are fungus gnat worms! Kill those suckers.
They dead!
are you burying something rotten?
I compost, yes. And that means chicken carcasses after making soup. Fish innards, scraps and bones. Why?
I thought it was leaking water from that valve. Oh shit.
Call some Helldivers bro
Looks like they'd make good fish food
Where’s the blow torch?
It is Gagh, Klingon delicacy best eaten live.
Qapla’ Most underrated comment hahahaha
Fuck me. I read this thread only seeing the first two pics. I rolled into the third. I’m fucking terrified. I can’t.

What part of the world is this? I want to know if I need to flee my home.
They're doing a mass exodus because you're wearing open toed shoes with socks
Click on the little camera in your Google search bar and take a picture. It will give you the results.
Sure. But wasn't this more fun?
Please torch them. That's a nightmare.
Torch them, then move
So if this fungus gnat larvae, shouldn’t op nuke on site?
Socks with sandals...round up stat! 😁
My suggestion is gasoline and tannerite.your choice of gun to set it off.
Kill them all!
Nice lord boards
