Mozzies , midges and other biting critters

What’s peoples methods of repelling the things?
I know camping and getting bitten at some point go hand in hand but my missus reacts badly to insect bites and stings so we try all sorts of things to repel them .

we’re currently lighting enough citronella candles to light a small village and also those citronella coil thingies ...along with various sprays etc .

just wondered if anyone has any tried / tested methods ???

 

Skinsosoft, it's what they use up here in midgy hell. Light a fire and burn some herbs, rosemary and thyme

 

Also Sainsbury's antihistamine, or any supermarket brand, to stop the reaction.

 

Eat garlic

 

I have no idea if that works, but it will keep the vampires at bay

 

I know it's of no real help but I never have a problem with them.
I just sit next to my missus and they get her and leave me alone!

 

Someone on here has recommended an Avon product in the past... don't think it was specifically a midge repellant but seemed to work.

 

I eat loads but the mozzies still find me tasty

 

I use jungle spray but the bailiff on our lake swears by garlic capsules and he doesn't seem to get bitten so I'm guessing they work

 

Yeah , we’ve got some of that and it does help

 

She sometimes has to wallop down some antibiotics to stop the reaction ( swelling and blistering )​

 

Use @crossy2112 s aftershave it keeps the women away but I don't know about mozzies

 

Smidge. Works a treat. I think you can even apply it over sunscreen which I’m not sure you can with the Skinsosoft. Get some. You will not regret it

 

Does he still use Brut, Baz?

 

I think he's moved on from brut last I heard he was using high karate or Denim

 

Obviously doesn't work that well then !

 

I’ve read that mozzies home in on Co2 we breathe out and us

ive got some tabac I might try

 

This stuff for the win!

That may have been me. It’s apparently one of their better sellers according to my sis who’s an Avon lady . It’s meant to be some sort of moisturiser but scares them midges away. That name mentioned earlier might even be the right name for it, Oh So Soft or something very similar

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,good luck because they don’t take no prisoners them little midges

 

Engine oil just rub it all over.
