Pyramid Trek Midge and Tick Repellent is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, walkers, gardeners or anyone spending extended periods outdoors during midge season (usually May to September here in the UK). It is such an amazing place, we are going back soon for the TentLife adventures into wild camping – should be interesting (haha).

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Bike along the Danube Cycle Path and follow the river for much of its length through Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary. Avon’s Skin So Soft This moisturizer was not created as a midge fighter but for some reason, someone realized it works against the beasties.However, lots of people don’t want to use a deet based product because of the stigma attached to it (you will have to google that one yourself and make that decision).

With our Tracked Airmail service you may be required to pay import taxes or customs calculated by your local customs authority. I don’t know what it was about me that they particularly enjoyed, but I again tested different repellents on different days (applying more often) and can happily report that this did the trick. The 20% Saltidin® based formulation offers medium-high level protection against biting insects for up to 8 hours. As I said, others in our party were using the products as directed and getting bitten nowhere near as much as me, if at all.

Me había comentado ya que tuviera cuidado con los midges, que son unos mini mosquitos que atacan en grupo.
