Just like that, keep water drained off and the brush cut back around the yard. Away from the yard: hs hunting soap- which I just always use, no junk food or sugared drinks, woodsmoke, activity; which in combination, works pretty good for me. The odd time, if they get unbearable, some white mountain repellant or if I'm out, vinegar will help, too.
I have friends who are bug magnets, attracting swarms and growing welts the size of half dollars. They're elderly, so when they come on their annual visit, the yard gets sprayed w/ a pyrethrin and a stock of DEET is kept on hand for them.
