zx12edge 1,001 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Took the dogs for a spin out not long ago as it is raining it would keep the sunny day dog walker at bay and would keep me dogs cool. So I get there and don't see another soul about. Anyway as soon as we get out the motor me and the dogs are covered with swarms of fecking fly's hope no one filmed me was walking about like I was having a fit. This year the insects seem to have come out in force can not remember them as bad as this year be glad when the cold comes and thins the evil shites out 1 Quote Link to post

mark williams 7,563 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 No other baby wipe will do edge but I kid you not, wipe " Pampers" baby wipes over your skin areas that are exposed and the bites stop! There is an ingredient in the Pampers wipe that repels midges big style. atb Mark. 1 Quote Link to post

ginger beard 4,653 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 i think the main active ingredient in insect repellent was DEET but they now think it does more harm to humans so stopped using it. 1 Quote Link to post
