Avon SSS and yeast tablets (Tescos). The fly fishing coaches at Gleneagles etc swear by it!

Brewers yeast or vitamin B1 tablets from the health food shop.

I use that. Vegemite on toast and Puffed Wheat for breakfast.

Worked for me in Oz – could go to BBQs and while everyone else was getting sucked dry by the mozzies, I was rarely bothered.

Over here, it's just as useful with midges.

But if there's not another snack around for them, nothing works.

Don't get the tonic water thing. Quinine doesn't repel them, it used to be given as a prevention against malaria. Most of my pals never bothered with it as it made them ill but I was a good wee boy and took mine.
