Permetherin if you dont mind nuking everything. There are dosage rates for what I believe they word as "temporary annoyance pests"

This and/or triazicide. I treat the exterior of the house with good misting of permethrin then treat the yard with triazicide. My main concerns are mosquitoes and spiders though.

Nothing really works. The life cycle is so short that essentially you'd have to put something down twice a week.

Lather up with that gnat repellent. It sucks that they decide to come out during nice weather

Permetherin has pretty good sticking power. Also about the safest effective insecticide for people. I love that stuff.

Can you spray Permethrin on your yard? Or is it just for clothes, structures, etc?

2 bottles of cheap vanilla extract and fill the rest of garden sprayer with water. Spray entire yard, it’ll work until nightfall then you’ll have to repeat after dew dries the following morning.
