HWMBLT is just back home, early, from his morning walk and he's covered in bites Midgies and clegs, he's a mess. I've fed him antihistamines and he's showering off the ineffective skin so soft.
And it's only July.

That's the one - though looks like the price has gone up quite a bit since I got mine - import costs / exchange rates I guess.

Picked-up these at the local poundshop but haven't had cause to try them yet. Apparently the active ingredient is DEET. Have to be worth a go for a quid - they may well work.
