There is an product you can buy called Home Defense at most home stores, we use it and it does not hurt plants, pets or furniture. We just spray around entrance doors, baseboards and windows. So far we have had good luck with it, runs around $20 to $25 for a gallon I think and it goes a long way.
a man that used to work where I do was a firm believer of a little cup of apple cider vinegar with 2 or 3 drop of dish lotion. They would go after the sweetness of the cider and the dish lotion would get on their wings and capture them. Worth a try.
Thanks, Janet! I read the article and got some good info. I should have said gnats instead of aphids in my question, but I would imagine the same "treatments" would apply.
Thank you, Janet. I was pretty sure gnats were coming from plants but hard to isolate which one or ones since we have so many in the house. Will try Neem oil as I already have that.

Try, as outside water and soap mix. It works great...
