chester copperpot Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 You get good oil burners that do the trick from B&Q. Got a couple for the garden, midgey problem sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christhejambo Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 You can get Citronella candles from B&Q, Homebase, Outdoors shops (Millets, Blacks etc)- be surprised if the bigger supermarkets haven't got them in at this time of year too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blondejamtart Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 For anyone buying the Skin So Soft as a midge repellent, it's the dry oil spray you're looking for, and it's got to be the green one - used to be called Woodland Fresh, think it may now be soft and fresh (or something like that!)

I'm marshalling for the Caledonian Challenge at Glencoe at some ridiculously early hour on Saturday a.m. so have got gallons of the stuff in the car plus a very attractive net/hat thingy. After 7 hours, I'll be able to judge how effective it really is Pray for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you've got it on every bit of exposed skin, as the wee buggers will get you otherwise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blondejamtart Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Sorry, didn,t realise I needed to state bottle colour! Well it does come in other varieties too - but only the green one is effective against midges! Oh, and Barby, a friend of mine did the Caledonian Challenge a couple of years back and swore by the Skin So Soft stuff for the midges! She said she only got one bite, while other folk who had used other repellents were covered in them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
