No, they don't bite and they don't really bother us as we work around the house. They just infest the house. They're like little gnats or noseeums. I find them on the windowsill inside our enclosed lanai. All the doors and windows are plastered with them. They land on the house and die there so you have to constantly sweep their dead bodies off the house. The more humid the worse they are. They make a mess.

I don't understand how those who live on these ponds can say they don't have these while we do. I wonder why that is. We do have a large pond and are fairly close to the pond so not sure if that's why or not. The pond is beautiful especially in the winter when we don't have the nuisance of these bugs. We have no issue with smell either.
