How to Control No-see-emsHealth & Wellness ProgramsUpdated on Mar 2, 2011 View more like this | Visit BEAUFORT, SC | Contact Greenbug All Natural Pest Control Products |
No-see-ems are annoying, tiny pests that are barely noticeable yet powerful enough to scare away grown men. Common names include biting midges, sand fleas, sand gnats and black flies but the most common of names is no-see-ems.
While you can actually see them, you would not know they were there until you are either bitten or swarmed. But if you do get bitten – you know it immediately because they hurt! They swarm in packs and suddenly become so overwhelming that people go into a frenzied state of shooing and slapping to get rid of them. Many wonderful outdoor events are cut short or avoided altogether for fear of the dreaded no-see-ems!
Ask anyone who has served in Iraq or Afghanistan about the sand fleas over there. They were so bad during the Gulf War that the military began infusing uniforms with pesticides plus spraying people, facilities and bedding trying to control them. How did that go? Well, the sand fleas became resistant to the pesticides however, the worst fall out is the Gulf War Illness which the Department of Defense now recognizes is directly attributed to pesticide exposure. Classify that as an epic failure for all concerned.
Clearly no-see-ems are difficult to control. A variety of products tout that they are effective in repelling but experience proves otherwise. Some smell worse than the bites hurt while some (like those containing DEET or permethrin) are clearly not safe. Is there anything that works, is safe and doesn’t require immediate bathing?
