Commissioners Address Gnats in Washington County Courthouse
Nathan Thompson
Annoying, tiny flying insects are causing issues across Washington County, even in the county courthouse.
The Washington County Commissioners addressed a complaint Monday regarding an unusually high number of gnats — especially on the third floor of the Judicial Building where the judges' chambers, law library and trial courtroom are located.
Commission Chairman Mitch Antle says a second pest control company investigated the complaint.
The Oklahoma State University Extension Service says the state is experiencing a high number of gnats because of a very wet summer. Experts say purchasing and using bug spray is a waste of money because gnats only have a life cycle of less than 10 days.
