Answers:
try a sonic emitter, works on mice and some insects with a high pitched, but inaudible to humans and pets (cept rodents) frequency
if there are alot of gnats, that means something feeding them, you have trash or left over fruit hidden somewhere?
If they look like heart shaped flies, your drains maybe infested.

I have had this problem in the past...it came from some fruit and I think another time was from potatoes...
What "I" did to get rid of them is use the little sticky twisty things that you can put up around where they are. They are not poisonous and will stay out of the pets reach and no vapors released either! They are called Pic "Fly Ribbon"
Since you have so many, you may need more than one bowl. Place a bowl with 1/2" of cider vinegar and a couple drops of unscented dishsoap on the counter. After a few hours you will see many drowned gnats.
Find the old fruit, vegetables, dirty clothes or what ever is drawing and feeding these gnats. Clean or dispose of it. Then get a few bug bombs and follow the instructions. They will be gone.
1)The very top layer of soil on houseplants is a favorite for gnats to breed and lay eggs which suck on tender roots when they mature. Spread sterile playsand (about 1/4") on top of the soil, and bottom water. 2)Check house/kitchen for fruit, potatos, etc that may be rotting...place inside grocery bag gently and throw it out. 3) Yellow sticky traps are supposed to work, but I haven't had any luck with them. 4)Check search engines for "fruit fly infestation"
