Mosquitoes and malaria can be a deadly combination and should always be taken seriously, but for truly abject misery on the spot you have to go a long way to beat a cloud of Scottish Midges on the warpath and out for blood.....

EcoGuard Midge Repellent Spray (10% Sailtidin)

EcoGuard Midge Repellent Spray contains 10% Saltidin - an insect repellent that was developed as an effective alternative to DEET, and also known as Picaridin, Bayrepel or Icaridin. Many people find it more pleasant to use than DEET as it is odourless with a light, clean feel.

It is said to be suitable for use by all the family from the age of two, and a single application can protect the skin for up to 8 hours against Midges and other flying insects. It is also effective against ticks, although in this instance it should be reapplied every 2.5 hours.

Ingredients: Aqua, Propylene Glycol, Piperidine Carboxylate (Saltidin 10% w/w), Isopropanol, Fragrance.

EcoGuard Midge Repellent is supplied in a plastic bottle with a pump action spray in two different sizes - 60ml and 120ml.

Usage guidelines:

- normal conditions - reapply every 4 to 8 hours - typically one 60ml bottle can provide protection for one person for about a week.

It contains a mixture of Bog Myrtle, Lavender and Rosemary, blended in Witch Hazel to produce a potion that smells pleasant to you but the midges hate - midges just won't like the taste of you and will look for other people to feed on instead!
