ПутешественникOld wives tale that I have unfortunately have tested and it’s true! Midge remedy- in a spray bottle: 1/3 Dettol, 1/3 baby oil and 1/3 metho. I didn’t use the metho and went 1/2 Dettol and 1/2 baby oil and it really worked well. We keep a bottle in van now. I’d never heard of midges before we were attacked. It’s wet and humid weather that they love and they are bite and attack when sun goes down! 🥴
ПутешественникYes! I was told about this up there! Unfortunately there was no shop, but I am going to make some up 👍. Glad to hear it works
