Autan has been the mainstay against midges for us Germans for generations.Or oddly Avon does a line called "Skin so soft"mosquieto repellant that is an excellent mosquito ,blackfly and horsefly repellant.Neither of those smell at all.

Newer idea is to get stuff and wash your clothes in the product.So you are wearing your protection straight away.I use some stuff called Mossgo from South Africa.Works well for an Irish season,although it washes out quicker in our rainy climate.Sawyer Europe makes an equivalent https://sawyereurope.com/insect-repellent/sawyer-sp649-permethrin-insect-repellent-treatment-spray-for-clothing-gear-and-tents-370ml-12oz If you don't want to wear chemicals there is a new product out called Rynoskin.it seems to be some kind of lightweight breathable frabic that insects can't bite thru

Try the above online site link.Should get you a dealer here or a direct buy option.

I use DEET insect repellant plus wear Craghoppers NosiLife shirts which have insect repellant incorporated into the material.

I gave a bottle to our vet one day and he rang me a week later to thank me so much as he is usually killed with bites this time of year.

Every time I see or hear the question, I think... cigarette smoke was great for keeping them away.

Having given up cigarettes over a decade ago, I've never found anything that works aswell.
