Hi there  SGThomas I was being serious! Catnip does work, I have used it for many years now and it's safe for children and all.

Hi there you can try this number i use, 01132424983 There is a website but i've forgotten the name, it's in my favorite but im not at home at the mo, i'm on another pc. You only need a 10ml bottle. my 50ml was expensive, (£40-ish but i've had it many years.  I did some postings i another thread a while ago and all the info was on it, thing is i can't remember what the thread was called, sorry. Anyway ty that number, it's called catnip or catmint, same stuff. Catnip essential oil. It's not cheap but it goes a long way when you mix it with a carrier oil. At about 5m to 100ml. I use lots of different carrier oils or moisturisers inc Avon skin so soft and suntan oil in summer. Just 2ml or so in the bottle, n shake...

 

I hope that helps, i wish i could remember what that thread was called.

I will definatly trying cat nip oil
I love Scotland but their bl##dy midges love me.

Last time I used skin so soft,Deet,vitimin B,Marmit,& holland & barret,s recomended nettle tablets every morning.

at 150+ bites we reluctantly left & headed south
The west coast seem to be the worst area's But as I got bitten to death my wife hardly suffered a bite & those she did get did not seem to irritate near as bad as mine

The green Skin So Soft is the one that gets most recommendations, but if the little devils think you taste good underneath the layer of chemical warfare, they're still going to have a go.

They've been about in force for the last week up here on the West coast, so if you're intending to visit some of the most beautiful country in the world, come prepared.

No way! I cannot believe that they're out already! Where do you stay?
