DC-area cottage has intense midge fly swarms from yard vegetation, siding, lights. Believed from nearby water treatment center. Spraying gives temporary relief. Playground a block away has none. Asks why their yard and how to eliminate.
Midges (Chironomidae) develop in standing water; wastewater ponds are common sources. Treatment facilities often have management programs. Spraying at home won't control—must manage at source. Contact facility operators, then county commissioners.
