Insecticides whose active ingredients are chlorpyrifos, hypermethrin, permethrin and pyrethrin are what can be used to control buffalo gnats.

Specifically, the insect in question belongs to the Simuliidae family. It carries the additional common names of black fly, turkey gnat, and white socks. Pyrethrin tends to be applied as a fogger, insecticide or repellent. The use of the four other above-mentioned insecticides will require application by Mosquito Abatement District and Public Health officials.

Treatment schedules demand head-to-toe personal protective equipment. Heavy infestations may necessitate personal treatments, which most effectively are realized through DEET. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) will be effective against the larval stage of the insect pest in question.
