No-see-ums: we have a lot of these tiny bugs in the summer!

Hi Mary, Without seeing them it's hard to determine what to do. I would look for the bug on line so you know what you are dealing with. Then after you know you can the research what the best method is to get rid of them. I like to use Neem Oil for my pest problems. It is natural and doesn't hurt the beneficial bugs, birds etc. I think you could get a little bottle and try rubbing it on your window frames and doorways w/ a some cotton balls or q-tips. You don't need much it is strong. But again I'd research first. Good Luck

If they are sneaking in thru the stove vent.. you could try taping a very fine screen or something like cheesecloth.. over the outside vent... most of these little pests have a hatching period... and at some point they will be gone for the season.... pull the screening off then..... the Neem oil might work to keep them away too... just re-apply after a rain.

Hey Mary -- I can feel your pain!! BUT in this part of the country, they usually last only a couple of weeks -- a nuisance, yes; do they bite, yes, but a commercial yard fogger for flying insects will give you some reprieve in the evening;

if you are referring to 'midges' -- they don't bite, but do collect on the windows/screen, etc., but again, are very short lived ... I've never known 'no-see-um's to be attracted to light ..https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceratopogonidae are the biting kind

https://www.britannica.com/animal/midge are the non-biting midge with the feathery antennae and somewhat resemble a mosquito

thank you. we always just called them no-see-um's here in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I will check these sites. Thanks again
