I feel them on me, and can see them when they're on my skin if I look extremely close. They don't appear to have wings and are not round, but slim. I was bit by them at a beach bar in Florida which was on a big wood deck as well, and after looking at photos of sand flies and ticks, I know they are neither of them. I don't have red welts, but itched all night after sitting outside yesterday. We seem to have them every summer. Also, I have purchased and sprayed the Tempo SC and coated the deck and house very well. They're still around. I live in the country in NW Georgia. Any help would be so appreciated.
Unfortunantly, until the pest is identified we are unsure which product will treat this pest. Please contact your Local Cooperative Extension Office for help identifying this pest.
