About this deal

There are, however, ways to avoid midges which include avoiding the regions where they’re most prevalent ie. the Highlands, the north and west coasts, and the west coast islands, but obviously, you will then miss out on seeing the most scenic parts of Scotland. Waste leaves and surplus twigs are used to fire the boiler which produces the steam. No other fuel is required to run the boiler. In fact excess energy generated by the process may be used to run other equipment on the plantation. Waste leaves are also used to maintain the soil.Some of the waste leaves may be used to make dyes for fabric. FAMILY-FRIENDLY REPELLENT: DEET has been classified as safe by leading global health organisations and regulatory bodies. Although many reputable sources claim DEET is safe for use in children from two to six months old, we recommend use for children aged three and up for good measure, as they will then be able to communicate if any irritation occurs. Leaves and branches are harvested by hand from the trees. The branches are then cut selectively from each tree so that the trees can continue to grow and produce new leaves for many years. Once the branches have been harvested, the twigs containing leaves are cut from the branches. The leaves and small twigs are steam distilled to produce Eucalyptus Citriodora Oil.

Butylene glycol — This solvent stops the active ingredient, Citriodiol®, from crystallising. It also helps to keep the skin moist and prevents bacteria growth. Avon Skin So Soft is a beauty product that has been recommended as a midge repellent for years, which I always thought was an old wives tale until I tried it myself. Steareth-21 — A waxy solid derived from fatty alcohols. It is prepared from vegetable oils by hydrogenation. It emulsifies and disperses the oily materials into the water to form a stable emulsion. Midge bites are very unpleasant and they have been known to bring grown men to tears, mainly because the resulting swelling is maddeningly itchy and can last for several days.

Mosi-guard is the number one selling natural insect repellent and is used world wide. It is the perfect choice for those who want clinically proven protection without having to expose themselves or their family to harsh chemicals such as DEET. The active ingredient of Mosi-guard is Citriodiol, a natural extract of Lemon Eucalyptus Oil. The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine found that Mosi-guard is as effective as the strongest available DEET insect repellent.

The natural ingredient in Mosi-guard Lemon Eucalyptus Extra Spray is derived from the oil of the lemon eucalyptus plant. This has been extensively and rigorously trialled and has been approved by many international regulators to hold comparable efficacy to synthetic and chemical repellents.

We recommend you re-apply MosiGuard Spray Extra regularly for the best protection as factors such as activity, fabric, humidity, and high temperatures can affect its longevity on the skin. It is suggested that you re-apply every six to eight hours, but please apply more regularly than this if you are active and sweating, swimming, or towelling down for example.

It is not known how many soldiers have used the spray. DSTL was more cautious. In the key test, the lab said there was “some loss of recoverable virus” on synthetic latex skin an hour after it had been treated with Mosi-guard. However, some virus was still recoverable over a four-hour period. It’s only the females that bite as they need lots of protein to form their clutches of eggs, but while they mostly feed on cattle and wild animals they’re also quite happy to chow down on any passing human that comes within range whether young, old, male or female.
