My place is surrounded by citrus and alfalfa, so gnats are a regular
hazard.  Mosquitos for some reason not so much.  Several of my neighbors
have horses as well, but no horse flies either.  Never heard of a green
horse fly, but we have a big black one that I see out on the river
fairly often in the summer time.  They will but a nasty bite on you, and
are hard to hit with anything.  One anglers I used to knew kept a
badminton racket in his boat for taking them out.

Anyway, not the first gnat I've wound up eating or spitting out.  Just
the first one that tasted like deet.  FYI:  Mosquito repellent seems to
have no affect on them.  I tried back when I first moved to this place
back in 2005/06.
