Bugs

[Marigolds]

Something in my chicken yard is eating me alive. I can’t go out there for five minutes without getting bitten but the only thing I can see are some little black flies flying around.....but I never actually see them or anything else inflicting the bite.
Any suggestions on what’s doing this and how to attack back?

Where, in general, are you located? This will help in pinpointing possible bugs.

Sounds like no see ems. They are midges. Where you at?

Appears to be no-see-ums to me too. The Only thing I know to use is permethrin. They do use it for mosquitoes too.
