They want water, everything needs water put a large shallow dish or bowl of water elsewhere in your yard area add barely just a little sugar to sweeten it they'll go over there and get a drink instead if you are sitting outside wipe yourself/skin down with 100%pure lavender oil(easier on nose) or peppermint oil(lot stronger)will keep them away you can also put either one or both of the oils in small spray bottle and keep it by you outside I just put on cloth and wipe myself down keeps away flies and mosquitos too.
