    There isn't much you can do I'm afraid. Midges breed in damp, long grass so you could keep vegetation down to a minimum (though can't really do much about your neighbours).

    Midges also have trouble flying in any breeze over about 4mph, (that's why you see them mainly on still, summer evenings). Anyway of moving obstructions that may be providing shelter near your door?
