Archie-fox Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Morning all, out stalking yesterday and I was almost eaten alive by midges, so much so I gave up after a few hours... what are people using to keep them at bay?

figgy Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Deet only one that works. I've used Avon skin so soft and it don't work all the time. It's a deterrent if they're not that hungry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nmb Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Anything with a high deet content works well. I use Tesco’s own repellant thinks it’s 30/40% and it works fine. Jungle formula is good too but much more expensive. Things I’ve tried and found not to be great are smidge and Avon skin so soft as neither helped me or the other guys in our shoot.

nic Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) jungle formula and if you have access to a costco, its not badly priced... two bottles plus an afterbite Edited July 23, 2019 by nic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzicat Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Slightly plump fair skinned female ( youngish if possible) I prefer ginger, get her slightly out of breath (use your favourite method, ) then remove all her clothing & stand her a few yards away ,never fails.
