.......... I wonder if it's the strong green ferny smell that confuses the midges, who rely on body odour and exhaled CO2 to find their next meal of blood.........

Interesting, because that is what mosquitoes rely on too, and SsS doesn't work for them. Well, it works a bit, which is possibly more dangerous than not working at all.

I can recommend Smidge that Midge. It works, smells nice and doesn't melt your plastic stuff or your face.

Nordic Summer is really effective but is hard to get hold of and stinks. It's what Swedish paras use in the forests of Northern Sweden. As well as keeping the bitey feckers off I've used it to keep flies off an open wound in very fliey countries.

I have heard from those who blaze away at wildlife that embalming fluid is very good-now it may well be,or it may be anecdotal.But it begs the question,wher do you get it?Would you have to buy 8 pints,and wouldn't the gendarmes want a word ?Possibly theyre all very good friends in these butts on the moors!
