Avon 'Skin So Soft' spray. The one in the light greeny blue coloured bottle. They actually sell in in builder's merchants in the Highlands for the workers.
Edit: Just googled it and the bottle has changed colour, the green one was the old version.
Just think how soft and silky you'll be BM.

Absolutely nothing will get rid of the little blighters. Try living up here. Have heard that AV@ns Skin so Soft works. If we are in the garden in the evening we burn incense sticks and that keeps them away but it means sitting in that smell!sigpicComment

Marmite.
An elderly gentleman at my first allotment had contracted malaria as a Jap POW. He told me he hated marmite but ate it every morning in midgey weather to keeps the gnats away.
Apparently malaria stays with you and can flare up when you're bitten.
I rather like marmite and seem to get bitten less after eating it.
Plus, I'm sticking with the theory because Sid (now sadly gone) was awesome and I think of him each time I make marmite on toast before going to the plot.Last edited by muddled; 26-05-2016, 08:22 AM.Comment

BM, as gorillas have hair everywhere apart from their face, armpits, hands and feet, you'll be struggling to use Skin So Soft to its full effectiveness ~~~ !!!!!Originally posted by Bigmallly View Post

That's fine for Mozzy bites as is Brewers Yeast due to the yeast content but not sure if it'll work for Midgies.Originally posted by muddled View Postsigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

do you get bitten all over- or is it mostly yr head/face?
A midge hat, or jacket might be worth considering???
