Maybe you are getting Love Bugs and No-See-ums confused. The Love Bugs do not bite. They are just a nuisance and do mess up your car when you run into them. Their body juices are acidic and will damage paint if not taken off.
The No-See-ums are so tiny you cannot see them. They are just pinpoint sized black specks that bite terribly. The itching stays for a few days. I have only noticed them in South Florida by Sanibel and that is only during the early morning hours and dusk hours. They really go after the ankles.
I don't know what you have had at Colony pool but if you can see them, they are NOT No-See-ums.
Deep Woods Off is the best repellent, though, if you are bothered by biting insects.
