They're out. I hate them. What do others do or is there any way to get rid of the itchy basterds.

Get a german phrase book and explain you can no longer participate as your membership of the Deutche Porno actors guild has expired.

Sorry about the mistake. I meant midges. I had to google the word midges as I always thought they were midgets.

I got a packet of Deet free insect repellant wristbands, you can wear them on your ankle as well, from Doc Morris. They smell of lemon and seem to do the trick. Usually we get bitten really badly and the bites swell. I think I paid 10 euro for a pack of 3 and the pack says you get about 100 wear per bracelet, I think. So far so good.

Get a sex change. Mossies and their ilk apparently prefer women and their blood. Something to do with extra phosphorus that the ladies have IIRC? Also take up pipe smoking, that keeps the beggars away. Luckily they've always left me well alone(same for my dad, but they made a beeline(no pun) for my mum). This is probably not a good thing if bloodsuckers don't want your blood... "fcuk me I'm not biting that fecker, I might catch something". I've found similar with vampire attacks. Mind you zombies only love me. Werewolves always end up owing me money, the hairy freeloading lycanthropic bastids.

A lot of British officers on colonial service would spend as much of the time pissed as they could get away with for this reason. The mossies object to alcohol apparently.

Some people get terrible reactions to midge bites (extraordinary swelling and redness that can require treatment by a doctor).

Most people however, just get over it.

fucking midgets

Sounds like a flea collar for humans. I'll try it anyway

I vaguely recall being told in History class that the fur stole originated as exactly that - the fleas would gather on the fur and eventually the stole would be thrown away and replaced with a new one....always made me chuckle when I saw rich people wearing them in films..

Well it's as good an excuse as any....

Edit: The ad at the bottom of this thread is for a pest control company who'll get rid of bedbugs for you...nice work Adchoices, now I actually am getting itchy.

I don't mind them all, they tend to leave me alone for the most part. The things I hate the most are wasps, houseflies/bluebottles, and horse flies. Also moths. I cant open my window for 5 minutes without ten of them coming in and arsing around.

Midges are grand but the mosquitoes are coming

Pretty sure we don't have mosquitoes in Ireland, no?

It's only a small thing really.

Nothing as bad as the midges in a bog. They're a more aggressive and plentiful breed. I think they get over excited because they only see people a couple times a year so they really tackle you.

I think garlic is great for repelling them. And if you didn't like garlic, you could take the supplements. Or cigarette smoke.

Cody Pomeray

Do I remember hearing before that some people are more naturally sensitive to midges than others? It could be an old wives' tale.

I am very sensitive to them; can't sit by the river or a ditch in the evening except they're after me, I have friends who wouldn't notice them at all.

No I think you're right...

Imps, anyone remember Dublin bus launched little buses called city imps?

You could get on and off wherever you pleased. Crap service.

Focking imps.

F*cking moths I really hate them and I like to sleep with the windows open.

It was a joke, did you see the picture?

Galwayguy35

I opened the door there a while ago and a small army of midges came in, the house spider that made his web on the corner of the ceiling is having a great aul time killing them.

The bog is the worst place for them.

Me too. The bastards chewed the eyelids off me on more than one occasion. I remember being tortured by them 'on holiday' in a forest when I was being trained in a quasi-paramilitary kids religious organisation (Catholic Boy Scouts of Ireland).

Funnily enough I was left alone by mosquitos by Bodensee while me German GF was being chewed up? Fussy little feckers those flying blood-suckers are.

Guess it depends whether you're actually on the bus, or waiting around for one that never turns up

Are these the same things that can sometimes latch on and stick to some skin and look like a black dot and can be itchy and you need to get a tweezers?

Sciurtán they are in irish but I'm not too sure of the spelling.

I've often wondered what would happen if you got one stuck in an awkward place. Like say for example your arse became very itchy and you can feel a little spot or whatever and you suspected it was a midge stuck to your arse, you can't really take a tweezers to your arse, can you? How would you get one off from your arse? Would you have to go to the doctor and tell them you suspect there's a midge stuck to your arse.
