You may not see them, but you can feel them! No-see-ums, also known as biting midges or sandflies, are found in almost any aquatic or semi-aquatic habitat. They swarm and bite relentlessly, making it difficult to enjoy the outdoors. If you live near water like a pond, pool, or area with moist soil, you likely have no-see-ums in your yard and know just how annoying they are. The pest control professionals at your local Mosquito Squad Plus^® can protect you and your family with a treatment that will help deter and kill no-see-ums outside. We’ve also put together some tips for you to reduce bites.

Fun Fact About No-See-Ums

No-see-ums are the largest pollinator of the cacao flower. Their small size and body shape make them the ideal pollinator for this intricate flower. Without no-see-ums, chocolate would be much harder to acquire.

All About No-See-Ums

No-see-ums are tiny flies that grow to only 1-3 mm long. They have slender, dark-colored bodies and feed on blood or plant nectar. No-see-ums are attracted to warm, humid environments and are commonly found near bodies of water. Like most flies, they breed in moist soil and decaying vegetation. There are thousands of no-see-um species, and they all have different behaviors and habits. The terms “no-see-um,” “midge,” and “punkies” are often used as a catch-all for the many biting flies within the Ceratopogonidae family.

Why No-See-Ums Bite

Many types of female no-see-ums bite because they need a blood meal to produce eggs. Despite their small size, their bites can cause itching and irritation for animals and humans. Unlike mosquitoes, no-see-ums don’t puncture the skin; instead, they cut it with a scissor-like mouthpart and suck up the pool of blood through their proboscis, a straw-like mouth. No-see-ums inject saliva containing anticoagulants to clot the blood; this can cause an allergic reaction in some people. Since no-see-ums are so small, many people don’t even realize they’ve been bitten until they feel a sting and an itch.

How to Get Rid of No-See-Ums

To get rid of no-see-ums and avoid future swarms, reduce potential breeding areas and utilize professional no-see-um pest control. These are the best methods for biting midge control:

Use fine mesh window screens, as standard screens may not keep no-see-ums out.
Run indoor and outdoor fans. These insects are weak fliers.
Reduce breeding grounds by removing standing water and damp organic matter.
Spray diluted essential oils. Citronella, lavender, and eucalyptus oils can deter no-see-ums.
Get a professional no-see-um yard spray that targets areas where they thrive and breed.

How Our Spray for No-See-Ums Works

Our Squad Fly Control service is the best way to manage no-see-ums and other harmful flies outside, like disease-carrying horse flies and cluster flies. We utilize our barrier treatment when spraying for no-see-ums. This kills them on contact and helps deter them for up to 21 days. As inconspicuous as it is effective, our no-see-um spray works by targeting places where these pests live and breed.

No-See-Um and Midge Control FAQs

Where are no-see-ums found?

No-see-ums commonly live in warm, humid environments. They breed in freshwater areas, damp holes, streams, coastal salt marshes, and moist soil. They’re prevalent throughout the coastal areas of the southern United States. However, they can be found all over in the right conditions, even in a puddle in your backyard! The only places where they don’t live at all are the Arctic and Antarctica.

What do no-see-um bites look like?

No-see-um bug bites look like small, red bumps, sometimes with a red dot in the middle of each bump. The swollen area around the bite mark typically grows to about one inch but can be bigger if you have an allergy.

Can no-see-ums live in your house?

While no-see-ums can easily get indoors through small cracks, they don’t generally prefer being there. They require moist spaces to breed, and the average home isn’t damp enough for their needs.
