I hate these things. I can't even enjoy sitting outdoors with my family, they attack me so much. They don't bite most of my family, but me, they delight in swarming. I was glad to find the following & do not recommend what this article says the CDC does in the man made chemical concoctions. Here are the ten top ways to get rid of the pests. I like the garlic.

They'll have to live with it or stop begging me to join them. Ha, ha.
