Not much help until after they have bitten you but I have heard they don’t like Marmite so provided you like it try eating that 🤷‍♀️

I guess midges either love or hate marmite the same as their hosts: the problem is the next time you're bitten you dont know if the midge is a first timer or not:)

That’s why I said it was not much help. I’m a font of useless information.

Just been to the following sites over the last five weeks - Stonehaven, Dingwall, Dunnet Bay, Dunster, Ullapool, Glenmore, Scone. The only midges we encountered were at Glenmore (not many and no need for nets). The thing is, midges cannot fly if the wind is above 5mph. Stick to coastal sites in June July and August and you won’t have a problem.

I can assure you it is impossible.

I also am very tempting for mosquitos - in the caravan I use one of these. We don't have a screen on the door, but with the window screens down and this plugged in I manage to avoid bites in the van. I don't know if it work for midges.

Hi Islay

We have used something like this inside our big air awning and in our airbeam Berghaus tent and it does seem to have some effect. Got to say though that I am not over keen on the smell.

We also use did have another French one which was like a green coil on an aluminium base that you lit the end of the coil and it slowly smouldered during the night. That one smelt really chemically and we stopped using it round the children when they were young..

Kath also tried an anti-mossie wrist and ankle band that looked quite colourful but seemed to have no effect on detering mossies or midges.

Try this midge deterrent...

Mike, the plug in has no smell whatsoever. There are plenty to choose from from and they work very well. Like your wife, I have been on antibiotics with swollen limbs and in a terrible state. I can vouch for this type. Not outside, but inside they're great. We often go to the Loire where they have the awful tiger mozzies and since I use these plugins, I'm fine IN th van. There's not a lot you can do if you want to sit outside, other than cover yourself in Deet.
:(

I was on one Scottish midge website & it mentioned having a plug in fan even outside on the table to keep them off you & your lunch. I might take one, nothing to loose!!

Roof vent on 2015 320, do they just prise off? I'm hoping to line with fine white midge netting when a company has stock shortly.

Hi Colin
What about the internal vent, does that gently pull off/down ?
