insects
 
We bought our new home about a year ago and currently find ourselves surrounded by little biting insects. They look like ants with wings and we would love suggestions about how to get rid of them.

I think you should call Massey or Dean's.

I spray our home in and out twice a year with home defense, no bugs.

The right thing to do is catch one and put it in a glass jar so you can identify what it is.
Cooperative extension is helpful if the internet can't. What to do depends on what it is.
Most insects etc are local. It is unlikely you are the only one in your area with this issue.
Mail pick up research?

We have Massey and the insects. I think Massey sprays a little water around and claims it’s treatment, probably that’s all they are allowed to do. I have to do my own insect control. Same with snails. This year I have had an infestation… one treatment and much fewer afterwards. I still pay Massey but I wonder why.

We use 'Zoysia Green' for bugs and lawn treatments...haven't had any problems in over 4 years (352.323.8454)

I have Massey service. Not sure what they spray during their regular service - but once I saw a couple ants outside, by my slider - I called them - they came out and sprayed - and I have seen nothing since.
My recommendation - get a service with one of the big companies and as soon as you see anything - just a few of the critters - call them and have them treat it - to avoid it turning into a big problem.

Call Massey. They will treat your home inside and the perimeter. They will treat the perimeter quarterly. We had this done before moving into our new home.

The bugs refuse to do so, so why should I.

Sounds like love bugs but they dont bite. Might be no seeums but those are tiny. Who knows. Just call an exterminator

We have Massey & like them. It is not just water that they spray. Jeez. Business reputations are hard earned. If one doesn’t like them for some reason, just change.

Spray water? Really! Why in the world slander a company without proof of any kind. This is how deadly rumors get started. Yet you still pay them. Unreal. Just thinking how ridiculous this complete statement would sound in court after they sued you for defamation. Childish.

My guess and only a guess is termites.
