I am glad you asked this,as something that is worrying me !

we have never been camping before!

my parents used to go and nearly cut short a trip one time as were soooo many midges ! my son was bitten loads on that trip

so hints and tips to deter ants / flies / midges would be most appreciated!

skin so softly original forumla and a zapper bat thingy to clobber em with............got mine for £2.50 but someone else got theirs from poundland for ...............£1  and don't keep bags of rubbish in or around the tent

I saw a racquet style zapper the other week which really is a zapper you plug it into the mains and electrocute the blighters!!!

I have bought the nikwax skito stop to 'do' the tent before we go. Have to let it dry in the garden and ventilate a bit perhaps afterwards. Anyone else used it?

Hi,

we have an Outwell bug killer - it's a rechargeable version of the electric zappers you see hanging up in commercial kitchens,runs for ten hours on one charge and is silent in operation until it "fries" the little bards!

have just used it for the first time this weekend,it's fantastic!!!!!

got ours from Outdoor megastore-i think it was about £20 well worth it
