Hi
I'm toying with the idea of going north this summer, June, Loch Lomond, Loch Ness and Morar. I've heard of the midges problem and wondered whether any of you had used the Clearlite lamp. Also, if you have, which model?
Many thanks

We used the candles last year in the lakes and they worked brilliantly for us.

We live by Loch Lomond and found the midges to be worse in the Lakes than by home lol!

We have used ours for about four years in the awning, after a few minutes you find all the midges and flies have either gone, or are confined to the corners, where they don't bother you!

I have also got one of the electric fly zappers which I also keep hung up, and use it over night. It kills off what ever is left of the little blighters!!

Hi

I was wondering if anyone had tried mixing Citronella oil and water together in them fragrance burners for inside the tent, the ones that look like little mushroom things that you put a mixture of oil and water into and a T-Light inside the little hole underneath???

My wife is a magnet for anything that can sting or bite her, she only needs to step outside and its guaranteed that they are just sitting there waiting for her, and you can just imagine these little buggers saying mmmmmmmm here comes lunch. hahaha, I shouldn't laugh she really does suffer from stings and bites, and she is usually allergic to most bug repellants.

Any advise for her to be able to enjoy the great outdoors without being eaten alive every time she goes out would be most welcome.

Regards

 Steve.
