I once read that it's only the pregnant female midge that bites you - so put 'em on the Pill.
A few years ago my granddaughter called out to me one afternoon as I was in the kitchen, "Nana, there's budgies flying around and they're coming in through the French window." I was a bit nonplussed as the most exotic bird we ever get is the very occasional woodpecker. I went to have a look and saw a load of midges. Easy mistake to make when you're only 4.
