Actually the one thing that Midges hate, loathe and detest is a breeze.

If you are on a EHU, then bring a fan and stand it up-wind of where you are sitting in the evening. The breeze from it will keep the area Midge Free.

mozzy coils, burn for 8 hours, these worked best for us last year in the highlands.  Just light 1 as soon as you get up, hung just outside my tent, also used it in the kitchen tent fisrt thing in the morning.  I tried loads of different things as i have a allergy to insect bites, so needed to be prepared.  If I went to the highlands again, i wouldn't be without them.

 did the marmite thing this trip though, ate it every day for a fortnight and every day while we were away, not sure if its a bite free year or whether the marmite worked.

Rather get eaten alive!!!
