🚚 It all started while I was working for an Oil & Gas company driving a box truck. My cousin worked there too, and we both noticed there were certain areas around the company that were basically full-blown gnat war zones:
• 🗑️ The Dumpster
• 🗑️ Trash Cans
• 🔧 The Shop
• ⛽ And ESPECIALLY the fuel pumps we used every day after our routes
One day we pulled up to the pumps like usual, already knowing what was waiting on us when we opened the truck doors 😂
☢️ Before breaking the “sealed barrier” between us and the swarm outside, my cousin joked about the gnats… and the SECOND we opened the doors, we got absolutely FLOODED with them.
I’m talking like 100+ gnats instantly invading the cab.
That’s when I finally said:
👉 “That’s it. I’m declaring WAR on these gnats.”
And that was the beginning of this entire journey.
I started researching gnats, learning their behavior, testing attractants, studying swarm patterns, and trying to engineer the perfect trap.
🪖 Within about a week, the first batch of what would eventually become Gnatroglycerin™ was formulated. It didn’t have a name yet… but it was ready for deployment
🤯 What happened next honestly blew my mind.
🧪 While mixing an early batch at home (inside, in the AC, nowhere near any gnats), I noticed something dark floating in the fluid. I held the bottle up to the light thinking maybe it was lint or some trash that accidentally got into the mix… 🔍
Nope.
It was a DEAD GNAT floating inside the formula. 🤯
And that’s when it hit me:
Somehow, somewhere, a gnat had detected this stuff, found its way to it, and immediately met its doom.
At that moment I realized:
“This stuff might actually be crazy.” 😂
So the next day I carried a fresh batch to work and started deploying traps around the property:
• 🔧 The shop
• 📦 The warehouse
• 🗑️ The dumpster area
I skipped the fuel pumps at first because I later realized the dumpster nearby was the REAL source pulling them into the area.
A few days later I checked the traps:
• 📦 Warehouse → almost nothing
• 🔧 Shop → a few gnats
• 🗑️ Dumpster → COMPLETE MASSACRE 💀
Probably 50+ gnats and several flies.
Not long after that, the shop manager asked me:
👨🏿🔧 “What was that stuff you put out the other day?”
I explained it to him, and he said:
👨🏿🔧 “I was wondering because the gnats got WAY thinner around here. You got anymore? My mamma likes sitting on her porch and the gnats keep bothering her.” 👵🏿
I gave him the rest of that batch
⏩ Fast forward to now…
🧪 Gnat season is back, and I’m officially starting production/testing again.
This time though?
🎥 I’m documenting EVERYTHING on camera.
And somewhere along the line… this whole thing escalated way beyond “just making traps.” 😂
I ended up creating an entire Anti-Gnat War Guide™ Field Manual detailing:
• 🪰 Swarm Behavior
• 🧲 Attraction Science
• 🚁 Airflow Disruption Tactics
• 📍 Trap Placement Strategy
• 🗓️ Breeding Cycle Weak Points
• 🎮 Environmental Control Methods
• 🥷 and full-blown Anti-Gnat Battle Doctrine
Honestly, the first time around I didn’t even bother filming because I thought there was no way this stuff would work as well as it did.
But Gnatroglycerin™ has honestly surprised me multiple times now. I’ve literally had gnats appear seemingly out of nowhere while mixing fresh batches.
Now obviously… I know that sounds biased and slightly insane 😂
🎥 So instead of just making claims, I’m gonna let the cameras prove it.
You’ll get to see the tests, the deployments, the swarm behavior, the trap results, the field manual strategies, and whether or not gnats really do seem to lose their tiny little minds around this stuff. (Spoiler. They go BANANAS!!)
Welcome to the war 🪰💀
