Fruit flies and gnats are attracted to alcohol because they use that ability to find decaying fruit.  Decaying fruit starts to ferment and it's perfect for them to lay eggs in.  If you put a piece of banana, or some fruit in your alchohol glass blunder trap is may attract even better.

I found that if I put the fly paper right next to the bulbs I don't have any problems. My only fly problem is in my incubator that has no light, which is why I am going to install a light in my incubation box. From what I have read lately the light shouldn't hurt anything. Allthough, I've pretty much solved my fly problem anyway. I just started using tight fitting lids on my poo boxes( some plastic totes don't have tight fitting lids), which has all but eliminated the problem...........MM

Ive had probs with gnats as well.  IME gnats dont show up in a clean grow
room with routine maintenance.  Reminds me of my mushroom newb friend.
His room is a small, easy to clean one.  He's a slob though, and because
of this he has contamination often.  Also EVERY grow is plagued by gnats.

  So he tells me how his sister is a huge fan of lizards and that her bf deals
with a shit ton of exotic pets.  After watching a video of a chameleon skillfully
eating 4 flies on a wall, a light bulb turns on in his head.  He wants a chameleon. 
"Bro i got a bad fly problem in my mini monotub, if i had my sis
get me a chameleon.. they're so precise an agile, one could eat up the flies
w/o damaging anything in my mono."  Im lmao at him, so the chameleon will
be the guardian of your monotub?!  I imagine a chameleon strutin around the
mono," best back up off this mono nigga."

So someone with big contamination problems is going to bring in an animal that regularly sloughs off old skin, to try and help the situation.
If at first you don't fail, try try again

My gnat control.  Every now and then I see a gnat in the grow room, but it's rare.
