I use Massey and have been extremely pleased with their pest service at $45 a quarter. If I see even one bug (ant, roach, anything) inside my home between treatments, they come out that day and spray. I am amazed at the lack of pests in my home compared to the continuous battle my mother fought when I grew up in Florida.

No, Love bugs only come out in May and September.

I have had Massey for 21 years and never had a problem. If you have a problem they come right out and take care of it. Those bugs are from the rain!

Are you finding them on the house frame? I wonder if the are what people call "blind mosquitoes". Here is an old thread about them;

Blind mosquitoes or other bugs on house

If so, just use a broom and sweep them off.

We had them about 5 years ago. It was insane and creepy. It mating season. I guess that when they are so active. Anyway, call an exterminator. We did and haven’t had them since. So I guess whatever they did made them stop coming in the house. Good luck!

No seeums are bad this year. Also there is a VERY SMALL black fly that can bite that is annoying this year. We have had a lot of rains and some homes keep their irrigations running so standing waters are a breeding ground.

I don’t believe termites bite people unless you are made of wood. Silly question perhaps, but do you have pets? Fleas would multiply quickly and bite anything they can. I use Dean’s and don’t have an insect problem. Good luck. I hope you can get to the bottom of the situation and get it under control.

Weigh your options carefully. Unfortunately, the first thing Villagers think of is blasting their homes with insecticide. They seem to forget that if insecticides are killing bugs, that same insecticide is probably harming humans as well. Are you spending a lot of time outside? Maybe it's the time of day that you are out and about. Sunrise and sunset are the worst for insects. A little bit later in the morning and most of them disappear. And since you say you have a new house, maybe you should consider adding a screened lanai or birdcage. This way you can enjoy the outdoors without getting bitten. Good luck, and enjoy your new home.

Not many mosquitoes here. They spray insecticide at night...WHEN the traps they set for them get to a certain level. They also have groups of chickens around the county they use to monitor for encephalitis and other mosquito borne sickness. I am so very glad that I don't see those huge roaches that Florida was famous for and the Fireants are cussed mean critters too. If you see a small sandhill in your yard, get the pesticide. If you disturb them, they attack as a team and their stings last for two weeks and burns and itches. Wasps don't seem to be interested in biting people. I just knock their nest down when I see them mud dobbing on our porch. Hornets are a different story. Mean little buggers and their bite really hurts.

We had some small bugs as you described. Terminex came out and put some white paste under our sinks and in crevasses and that was the end of it. We have Terminex and our pest control person is very efficient, professional and they come out as often as you need. Initially when we bought our house we had bugs all around especially on our bricked patio. Now I never see any bugs. They come quarterly but will come out anytime if I need them.

Sounds like termites. Has them in Michigan and it sure sounds like that.

[graciegirl]

More than most folks want to know about blind mosquitoes, (From University of Florida)

Two important things; They don't bite and insecticides are effective sprayed where you swept them down from.
