Ken we used to make our own midge hats out of woman’s tights and a couple of steel coat hangers don’t know if it was the smell off the used tights but the midges never came near.
We always use Smidge as it seems pretty effective. (Nets for over the head ready just in case though).Never used Smidge, how good is it? I always use Avons Skin So Soft, Coz I'm wurf it.
Smidge and Avon SSS work differently. The idea with SSS is that you put on a layer that the midgies can't bite through. Smidge on other hand interferes with their receptors so they're less likely to find you and it's what we all use hereabouts. Almost every shop here has boxes of it by the till. I have a can in each rucksack and in my shoulder bag, and two in the van (a bit OTT but I hate being midged). Everybody I know also carries a midge net of course and thin gloves etc so that every single bit of skin can be covered. But when the Highland Midgies are rampant nothing will do the trick and you just have to go indoors. In a van this means no ventilation, including the cab vents, cos most fly screens (probably including the ones in the OP) aren't fine enough to keep out these little biters which have a wingspan of 2 millimetres.Never used Smidge, how good is it?
