I have managed to errect a little encampment on the border of the black woods biome, close to the sea. The problem I am being presented with is that I get swarmed by greydwarfs constantly. I should mention that there is a burial chamber just over the hill nearby that I have cleared out. I also destroyed one greydwarf nest further inside the black woods, and there does not seem to be another one. Yet swarms keep coming no matter the time of day.

How do I keep them away?

Building a few workbenches around your base should also keep them from spawning.
