Q: We have gnat larvae in our showerhead
We live in Chengdu and we've just discovered gnat larvae (I think) coming out of the nozzles in our shower head. It's not a simple screw-on device and we don't have any tools to take it off. We're also concerned the problem may be in our pipes and not just in the shower head. Would calling a plumber or exterminator be helpful? Or does anyone have any home remedies for this problem?

Gnats always live near fruits and vegetables. Store your fruits and vegetables in sealed containers. Make sure you take out the garbage, and make sure you don't live near people who let garbage sit around for days. Gnats do not live in shower heads or near water, but they might go up in there trying to find where the smell of rotting fruits and vegetables is coming from.
Of course, Gnat babies, like any other babies are very hungry.. So they're going to be born inside fruits and vegetables and not inside your shower head. They don't live very long, a few days at most.
