Here is some information that is probably more than you want to know.
The biting midges are pool feeders like the deer and horse fly. They lacerate the skin and sponge up the welling blood. I think they all use anticoagulants, but some also may have an anesthetic. If they all do have an anesthetic it does not work very well at least for me.
Mosquitoes on the other hand have a full tool kit (like a Swiss army knife) complete with anesthetic. Their feeding behavior is much more complex than the slash and grab midges. They probe the skin to find capillaries close to the surface and cut a small hole in the skin. They then inject saliva that is both anesthetic and anticoagulant. The feeding tube or proboscis is hypodermic like. If you ever watch one feeding you will see how the behavior has distinct stages culminating with a head bob when they insert the tube.
Then you smash them. It is actually better to smash them before they inject the saliva.
