No-See-Ums, What Actually Works Against Them?

Posted by Mosquito Squad

August 26, 2024

Living in Alabama can be wonderful, but the outdoor living season can be intolerable at times due to the presence of various biting pests. Mosquitoes and ticks are some of the most commonly thought-of pests in our region, but there are a few others that deserve your attention. No-see-ums are some of these.

Ways You Can Defend Against No-See-Ums

Just like their name implies, no-see-ums are incredibly tiny, making them very difficult targets to swat. In tandem with their tiny size, these pests have a remarkably painful bite as well, making them a pest you want to steer clear of. How can you do so, however? Often, you won’t notice a no-see-um until it is on your body, which means bug sprays and other solutions are the best personal protective measure when outside of the yard. Bug sprays with a high concentration of DEET are the most effective. Also, baby oil or essential oils on the skin are quite effective as the thin layer of oil on your skin can drown no-see-ums when they land on you. Unfortunately, neither of these methods is very comfortable, and screens often won’t do anything to keep these pests at bay. For results you can rely on in your yard, professional no-see-um control in Huntsville should be at the top of your list.
