Blood-sucking, challenges of population control, disease-carrying filarial worms, protozoa and viruses, inflamed and itchy bites and welts are concerns with No-see-ums. The seemingly invisible insects, also called biting midges and sand flies, count among members of the Ceratopogonidae family and as relatives of black flies in the Simuliidae family. They like moist environments, where home-made or store-bought insecticidal soap serves as a population control if the controller can figure out where the invisible biters are coming from and going to.
