Some beach resorts apply a thin dusting of garden (hydrated) lime and rake it in.  It seems to work for a couple of years.

You must mean sand gnats or no see ums...(same thing)

I did some further searching and yes indeed there are also sand fleas as you asked about..I guess it depends on what area you are in..for example..in Texas a crawfish is a crawdad or crayfish..and here in Florida they are spiny lobsters..It is a territorial thing..
