A very reasonable idea, and one used for mosquitoes, is to breed and release a cloud of dragonflies.

Dragonflies are voracious predators of other insects and will clear an area very quickly. They also make a very quiet clicking sound that other insects are terrified of.

In Canada, they tried this in a park infested with mosquitoes, just before a major outdoor concert. In just a few days, the mosquitoes were completely gone.

The only thing to figure out is how many dragonflies per acre you need.

duct-taping pant legs and wearing screened hoods to keep the deceptively small bugs from delivering bloody bites or crawling into seemingly every body crevice.

Note to self...Maine off vacation list.

For the love of God.

They come, stay a few weeks, and then they go.

Quick, everyone run around waving their hands and screaming.

I swear, we need a good typhoid outbreak to dynamite people into some perspective.
