Smidge REPELLENT 75ML 8 HOUR MIDGE & BITING INSECT PROTECTION-2 Pack

Used this for several years now and very effective against Scottish beasties. Apply liberally and include some on your clothing and hair for best effect. Not sure it remains AS effective for 8 hrs. We are rural Scotland and live by water and a lot of trees and tend to find if I don’t apply a little more after maybe 4 hrs, the special forces squadron of the midgie world will stage a forward attack.

works well it minimises the amount of bites I normally get as mosquitoes must love me as I get bitten lots and lots

Not the 1st time I have ordered this product and it won't be the last. For me personally it works, smells and feels pleasant on the skin, and unlike some insect repellent, it doesn't make you feel like you've been gassed!

Great product does what it says and has no nasty smell

Good value

Love this product! I only get bitten where I don’t spray it! It smells nice and the smell where’s off. It doesn’t stain my clothes. It leaves my skin feeling so soft!

I live in North Yorkshire and thought the midges here were bad. Alas, an unscheduled trip to Ayrshire last summer showed me that the midges south of the border are disorganised and ineffectual compared to the vicious onslaught of the Scottish ones we encountered at Loch Doon.Locals recommended we buy Smidge, the only thing they rated to keep the bitey w** f***ers at bay, but it sells out in the shops quite quickly in summer. Every inch of bare flesh we had was testament to the midges’ voracious attack.So this summer, when we returned to Loch Doon, I made sure we were prepared. We covered every last bit of skin with either clothing or Smidge and, despite the clouds of midges that descended upon our little group, we successfully managed to eat a picnic without injury or the subsequent red bumps and itches of the previous year.With that said, even with Smidge on your skin, the little sods will go for your scalp if you leave it either uncovered or un-Smidged. While copious amounts of product in your hair may be effective, it’s not a great look, so make sure to have a hat to hand to supplement your protection.A can of this stuff is now always in the boot of the car, ready for any outings into the countryside. It may not be the cheapest insect repellent out there, but it works brilliantly well on the midges we were dodging. Well worth spending a bit more in my view to avoid days of itching and irritation.

Have used this product for some years now especially in Scotland. Very effective against 'the wee beasties.
