I've found that patience and reasonable conversation tends to work as a decent repellant against this type of pest. If one can resist the urge to swat or smack them directly, they'll often tire of buzzing around, and leave to find a more suitable host.

Just be careful when they're swarming though. A person may be better off seeking suitable shelter as soon as possible. Accidentally confronting them with irrefutable facts is akin to kicking a hornets nest.
