kokesaat Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 We have a large overhang on our village home where we dry our clothes. Tiny black insects sometimes like to swarm around the plastic/stainless sock/undie hanger. I want to search Thai websites for a possible herbal/natural cure for these bugs......but need to know the name of them first. The best I can describe....they're tiny, they don't bite, if a tiny thread is hanging outdoors for a few days the bugs will cover the thread, they're only around in the hot season. Any chance anyone knows the Thai name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seligne2 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Can you take a photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokesaat Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 Sorry for the delay in uploading a photo. The photo is of a brass bell that we have hanging on our porch. From time to time, the bugs will congregate on the string below the bell and the piece of brass that catches the wind. These insects do not bite, but they're a menace. If anyone has any tested remedies, I'd appreciate the insight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet memory 80s Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 May be too much if I ask for a video clip instead of still picture so we can analyze its behavior, how it cling or pattern of flight otherwise from your picture it still looks much just like a flock of common fly. Most fly I've seen usually cling at tip of stick or on string in its inactive time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenslegs Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I think the little buggers are "eye gnats" (AKA fruit flies or vinegar flies) - locally known as Malaeng Wee (maybe). They love to get into one's eyes or nose. http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/livestock/flies/liohippelates.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
