Soothing Insect bites

Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the area.

Use a cold wash cloth or cold pak for ten minutes on, ten minutes off, and repeat this process.

Take a antihistamine or apply creams that reduce itching if necessary (check with your doctor).

Watch for signs of infection such as, increased swelling, redness or pain. Do not scratch the bite it could get infected.

Answer 2

Applying repellents, contacting professional exterminators, picking up litter and waste, removing standing water, repairing entry points, replacing mulch and screens, and rethinking outdoor lighting (by installing orange, red or yellow night-lights and turning off white light-bulbs 45 minutes after sunset) are ways to get ride of midge infestations. Infestations generally occur from spring through summer. Repellents range from DEET to permethrins to sanitizers for hands.

Answer 3

They are just small flies of potentially thousands of species most of which breed in over watered soil. If they are breeding in the soil nematodes will do it, but you need to positively id the type of fly so you know where breeding site actually is. A college entomology dept or similar can assist you.

Answer 4

Try not to scratch it or it will turn into a massive rash, try putting some after sun, or skin lotion on it and leave it for 5 hours then wash it off with cold clean water. I remember in the summer last year I had loads, and my Mum told me to do that so I would say tat it works, but you have to keep doing that until it gets better, but if it doesn't work maybe make an appointment with your doctor, by the way sorry if it is wrong, but I presume it will work.

Answer 5
