Invaders..help!

I tried searching it on the net but coudn't find it.

Well basically when its hot weather we have got lots of garden flea/bugs/insects, i dont really know what's called but its color black and sesame seed or headlice size and they fly and harmless, just itchy when they're on our body.They're just stay everywhere, my problem is we couldn't enjoy our garden under the sun, and couldnt open the windows because didnt want them inside the house. I feel bad sometimes for not letting my children play outside in our garden because of it.

Any advice?

We bought black net curtain at conservatory LJ. They can't pass through. You can also buy bugs spray.That's what we are using at the garden.

Rub "OFF" on your childrens arms.

I've seen them on my travels around the UK this week.
They tickle as they crawl on your arms too.

I can never kill anything (Mosquitos excepted), so if you see an HGV driver blowing on his arms out the window as he is trundling along, he is not blowing kisses at you........

Get some black fly spray from 99p store. It works on them. If they are what I think they are they are flies that eat fungus on the plants. They live in the compost. They are annoying and hover around in the air near the face sometimes.They fly slow. However the larvae eat the roots of your plants. Read more below
