There are many different types of midges, but non-biting midges and biting midges are the more common midges you may come into contact with.

Non-biting midges look similar to mosquitoes. Most non-biting midges grow to be less than ⅜ of an inch in length.

Biting midges, also known as "no-see-ums," are gray in color. They grow to be less than ⅛ of an inch in length, so they’re smaller than most mosquitoes.

Midges don’t travel far from their breeding grounds, so look around your property where standing water can occur. Check where the soil may be impacted for spots that drain poorly, and note down man-made sources of standing water, like bird baths or swimming pools.

To get rid of midges on your property, you’ll need to use insecticides labeled for midge control, like Reclaim IT, Tekko Pro IGR, and Flex 10-10.

Apply the product where you’ve seen midges at rest. Sites of treatment include, but are not limited to: siding, foundations, garages, tree trunks, shrubbery, and many others. Also focus treatment around outdoor lighting fixtures and around windows as midges and other flying insects are attracted to these light sources at night.

To stop midges from breeding on your property, you’ll need to utilize Integrated Pest Management strategies, or IPM, and keep up with regular pesticide applications.

Try to reduce the use of outdoor lighting. Midges, like many other flying insects, are attracted to light. Avoid turning on outdoor lighting until after sundown, since most flying activity takes place during that time.

Since midges require standing water to breed, the best way to prevent midges from developing on your property is to prevent standing water and ensure your lawn drains properly.

Continue to keep up regular pesticide treatments, since your property can quickly repopulate with midges from outside the treatment area.
