In this article, I talk about why you have no see ums in the house and what you can do about the situation.
Why You Have No See Ums in the House
You may have no see ums in the house because you’re close in proximity to a breeding site. While male no see ums typically remain close to their emergence site after maturing from the larval stage, female biting midges tend to travel some kilometers away in search of a blood meal.
For example, Culicoides mississippiensis (a genus of biting midges) may travel more than 3 kilometers in the span of 24 hours. This is without being aided by the wind.
When these wandering females are supported by the wind, they may travel even greater distances.
If you live close to mangroves and areas where water is collected and remains stagnant, this may be the case. While female biting midges typically travel for meals, if they are close to a source, there’s no need to venture off.
They will then invade your home to feed on you. Learn more about dealing with no see ums in the house.
