Found this on hunker.com:
Step 1
Mix equal parts of vinegar with hand soap and set outside in a dish, near your yard's usual gnat stomping ground. The gnats will be attracted to the mixture, ultimately drowning in the sticky liquid.
Step 2
Mix wine with a few ounces of sugar as an alternative to the soap-and-vinegar concoction. Cover the bowl with a sheet of plastic wrap and puncture holes in it to admit the insects.
Step 3
Keep a bottle of hair spray handy when you go outside. If approached by the less-populous but still persistent gnat hordes, spray them thoroughly. The hair spray will stick to their wings, solidify and paralyze them, causing the gnats to fall helplessly to the ground.
