I covered the whole of mine over with a new piece of netting, cut to shape and glued on the inside with fabric glue the tears were then glued to the new piece so it was barely visible. I used midge net too, which was better than the existing mosi material that let midgies through

Do these work on midges or just mozis?

Jerba ones are worth the money if you go to Scotland and need midge proof ones. Ordinary mozzy net is useless up North!

Hi there. We have recently bought some midge screens which have poppers all the way round (my choice). My dad is reluctant to put the poppers into the carpet as he thinks it will rip the carpet on our walls and will look awful. Has anyone already done this or has anyone got any advice?? I...

Ouch, that looks so bad. Did you use any of the above repellent s?.....

...new T6.1 that we’re about to convert but my husband doesn’t like the look of them. The HiLo was very spacious and loved the zipped windows and midge nets, so we could sleep with windows undone in hot weather. If we did stick with a pop top, we’d want one with a low profile and opening windows...

The mesh on standard UK fly screens will not keep out midges which are significantly smaller than mosquitoes etc. If your primary concern is midges you’ll need midge proof netting. Various online sources for DIY approach. I have purpose made midge screens from Jerba (East Lothian) which do the...

...not in any rush to get there, and would like to drop by the Lakes, Oban, The Kelpies either on the way up or back home.. Any tips for the midges! Or great sites to stay on or secluded wild camping spots.. we love discreet off grid if we can get away with it.. Any sound advice greatly received

...seats, so possible to sleep inside... The bikes would probably go on top of a boot kitchen too. I didn't want a boot kitchen as even with the tailgate I feel they're not great for UK weather. When it's raining sideways, or you're getting eaten alive by midges, I'll be glad of my inside kitchen!

...tbh it was never going to be massively comfortable but it was okay for a few nights in the Scottish hills, certainly a better option than a midge fest tent.. Upgrading to a T6 feels like moving into a stately home... I'm going for the U shape layout and looked at the Vanfurniture offering...

...to October. June through to September usually the worst. However they cannot fly in wind over 4kmh so it doesn't take much to keep them in the undergrowth. Oldrat is right about getting proper netting because they are tiny, and most people now use Smidge as the most effective anti midge spray

https://www.smidgeup.com/ This stuff works. The wind has dropped here in the Outer Hebrides, so the midges are biting. There was one local chap today, mixing muck for roofing tiles, he had a bright blue full head net on! The odd thing is, they don't bother Mrs CAB. But they are all over me...

I can confirm we were issued skin so soft in the Army when in Scotland.

I was pleasantly surprised, myself! This is one night’s work, fighting the midges near Ullapool.

Not sure if it’s a myth but I heard that’s what the army use when training in the highlands to keep the midges at bay
