Fungus gnat in my ear

So it was 3:35 am last night, I was sound asleep in my bed, enjoying the relaxing comfort that sleep provides. So I've had a slight thrip and gnat problem since I keep my pots indoors (above my bed) on the windowsill. Nothing too significant just the occasional flying gnat that I kill every now and then. So I twitch and suddenly wake up. I feel a weird ticklish sensation in my ear. So at this point I have no other choice but to pick it with my finger, I was assuming it's just some wax or something that fell in since I sleep on my side. I had no idea. All the sudden the "wax" starts buzzing! So I jump and head to the bathroom, I go apeshit on my ear with a wet q tip, but I find nothing. Lil' f**ker probably left after the finger poking. I have freaking had it, I'm going safety off on all my freaking chemical weapons. Wish me luck bois.
 
I spent a number of summers in Maryland when I was a kid - 15 or so. I will never forget riding bikes there every year, and out of nowhere bombing through a cloud of gnats - they ended up everywhere - eyes, ears - I must've breathed 30 of those fuckers into my lungs. 
 
Every year, day after day, mom would be picking the gnats out of my eyes and getting the q-tip to dig 'em out of the ears. 
 
Not a fan.
