Do you have any trees back there? If so, the next step is to build bat boxes to attract bats to live there. They will eat those abundant insects and be very happy! Eventually it should become less annoying!

I agree with you, a bat box or a birdhouse for insectivorous birds.

A battery powered thermacell insect repellent will work in the meantime to keep many insects away while you are outside at least.
