While watching my son in the pool, these tiny orange biting bugs were all over my white tank top and then I noticed they were all over the white poles around the pool! When I looked on my skin for what was biting me, I couldn't see them, that's how tiny they are! I looked up the "no see ums" and the thrips, and it doesn't look anything like them, they are much smaller, almost microscopic! How can I get rid of them? Please help me.

Does anyone know what these are? They are about the size of half a gnat and bite like crazy but don't leave a mark. No one else in my family gets bit by them. I have tried bug spray and skin so soft nothing helps.
Normally the kids I and I are outside from morning till night but I have no interest in going outside now these things are driving me crazy.
They are not in the house but I noticed them on my porch window so I used a piece of tape to get a picture.
I have these exactly as you pictured on tape! Did you ever find out what they are? They bite me constantly!
Has anyone answered this question? I want rid of them! Help!
I too have the same issue and saw on another site to use peppermint oil. I used a mixture of peppermint oil with lemon juice and water and sprayed them on the pool and it killed them not harming the pool. they also fly so for a few days I sprayed them as I saw them in the air and the top part of my pool and it has helped tremendously.
I'm not sure what they are called but I will tell you what helped scatter them away from me. Dollar General Odor Eliminator. Sprayed a few sprays on my cushions outside by the pool, and poof! They left that area alone.
THey are Everywhere around my pool. I cant even get in the pool without getting bites like crazy.. and they hurt, if these suckers had any size at all they would have killed me by now.
The tiny biting orange bugs by the pool are noisy likely thrips.
They have over ran us too, don't know what to do except hide indoors, they're terrible little tiny devil's, they just keep coming back by the hundreds regardless of the different sprays,candles,etc that we've tried!!
They have taken over around here too, have sprayed,used candles,etc, they keep coming by the hundreds!!
We are also being eat up by these tiny terrors here in Va. What was the amounts of each ingredient of you peppermint lemon mixture ?
I did the exact same thing and put it over the microscope and it look almost like a roach. I found it crawling on my bed and started searching methods to remove them.
I have the same problem. And I'm losing my mind! I'm the only one getting hit and they hurt. Have you found out what they are? I just found one today and finally got a good look. It seemed to jump and looked yellowish orange color. And I find black specks almost like lint or dirt. I need this to stop!!!
I have the same problem with those tiny red flying biting bugs around my pool. Within about a month they have multiplied. They r flying all over n around my pool n as soon as I get close to the pool those tiny monsters bite me all over.
They are collumbola. Or thrips..same bugs are on dandelions. And alot of flowers like tiger lilies. They do bite...spectrocide spray always seemed to help me around the pool. They like moisture.
Could you please send me the recipe for the peppermint oil and lemon juice and water and how big of a sprayer do you use for I have the same problem here in South Carolina thanks I look forward to hearing from you have a great evening sincerely surely
Hello, I went on line to eBay.com and bought my chemicals.these chemicals kill MANY BUGS, WASP, etc
Oh yes i have a pics of one on my hand the bites feel like 1000 ants are biting you at once theyre veryyyy small.
Did you guys ever figure out what they are?!?! Theyre all over my backyard eakk
They have a name but it is hard to pronounce, Ceratopogonidae and they are a pest that is in large numbers because of all the wet weather. They are some small but they bite and we feel it! www.accuweather.com/
Here is an article discussing which vitamins and other ways to repel no seems. Also to note that B6 sometimes causes reactions of behavior in special needs kids, just a note from my experience, but B12 is great. Also sugar in the blood attracts mosquitoes, sad but true, if you are going outside, don't make yourself sweeter then you have to be around bugs.

Good luck, and I know how you feel!
