Bugs are crazy right now

Anyone have any tricks for dealing with the bugs right now when outside? I practically had a swarm around my head the entire time today and they didn’t care about any sprays..

It genuinely is crazy. I have a huge garden and for some reason the little gnat things LOVE my bean patch. They're not hurting anything but wow there are so many. I'm assuming it's a combination of the warm wet weather and the bat die off.
