New product which has been launched by Dr Alison Blackwell of Advanced Pest Solutions (http://www.advancedpestsolutions.co.uk/home/default.asp?pageid=31). Alison is an international authority on inspects and their control. She is primarily involved in biotech solutions to pest control and she’s also the brains behind the Scottish Midge Forecast. She has just launched Smidge, a superior insect repellent.
Smidge uses the active ingredient Saltidin®. It’s an extremely effective broad spectrum insect repellent. It’s safe for all the family.
Although you’ll see Smidge is focussed on the Scottish Midge, I thought I’d let you know about it as this is effective against Mosquitoes, Sandflies, Ticks and a whole hosts of biting insect. It’s a great alternative to DEET. It has a nicer feel of the skin, good fragrance properties, and does not eat into plastics or you car paintwork (i.e. big advantages over DEET).
If you happened to be travelling to Scotland, you might also be interested in the Midge Forecast (http://2010.midgeforecast.co.uk/index.php/home/).
You can also buy Smidge at their web shop, and also download the Scottish Midge iPhone App.
