Folk on here say Avon Skin So Soft moisturiser is good.  I've also heard eating marmite keeps them at bay - they don't like the taste!

Avon So Soft works for us - but then we eat marmite too!!! Have given up with traditional repellents and just use the Avon.

The midge seems to be a bigger problem this year much more than usual. At the weekend I tried a spray developed in the west of Scotland(they should know about midges) I also,at the same time used the Jungle formula cream but was still bitten all over.There's loads of advice to combat the devils...vitamin b tablets..brewers yeast. The Avon beauty product Skin So Soft or summat(seems the formula has changed so may not work anymore). Some swear by catnip oil but it seems there are many veersions of it. The cheap stuff to keep your cat amused and the highly concentrated catnip oil which is very expensive but you only need a few drops in a carrier cream.

We  went for a walk at Bude this weekend and  along a lane there were thousands  of  buzzy blighters! There are loads about this year, Appparently  its the vitamin B in the marmite the things dont like so might be worth taking  vitamin B tablets or other food which contains  it, i have just ordered a load  of the gree SSS so i hope it does work!!!
