We also include small amounts of traditional repellents Bog Myrtle Oil, and Lemongrass Oil. We mix these three ingredients with natural skin lotion and grape seed oil, which are both good for your skin. Midge Magic™ will let you enjoy the outdoors without midge bites, and keep your skin feeling soft.

Midges are tiny flying insects with a wingspan of up to 3mm. There are around 30 species of midge in Scotland, but only the females of one species (Culicoides Impunctatus) are known to bite. Unfortunately, there are billions of them around.
Midges bite to obtain a blood meal which massively enhances the number eggs they are able to lay. They seek out this blood meal by following carbon dioxide trails caused by mammals breathing – we are mammals and make just lovely targets ! Midge Magic works by confusing their direction-finding and means they don’t find you.
Midge bites themselves are not dangerous or painful - what causes the intense irritation is our body’s slightly delayed immune response to the bites, and it is almost impossible to resist scratching midge bites once bitten.
Midges are most active in low-light periods of the day, when there is little or no wind, but even on sunny days you can find them swarming in sheltered shady spots. Midges normally emerge in early May, and are prevalent until September, but with the changing climate it’s quite common for midges to start appearing in mid April, and still be seen early October.
