JJsDad Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Jungle Formula - Max Plus has always worked for me. The new one is in gel form & always keeps them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flynny Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Yes, it's great stuff, i have let two of my stalking buddies use it, and they have used most repellents, they have since bought some, its all I use , look up monarch country supplies, they stock it and are a pleasure to deal with, flynny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonker Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 I go to Scotland most years, and I use smidge, works well. I also bought some stuff on Mull containing bog myrtle and that worked as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing it Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 The midge is a horrible wee beastie that can totally ruin any outdoors activities. I've tried a few repellents in my time. It used to be Avons skin so soft that was top of the list when I was stalking. Then I got hold of some smidge while camping at Mallaig and it really works well. The West coast up here is brutal for them. The east is a bit better but no matter where you go they'll have you running for cover. They are bas%$@ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotslad Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Smidge is quiet good but really the best thing is just biting the bullet and putting a midgie jacket on (hoody with face viel) Smidge is good but if ur doing something physical and sweating or midges are terrible the jacket is the best way (without coating ur face in toxic chemicals, i'm amazed beet is still allowed to be put on skin the mess it makes of other things) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
