Midge Mosquito Head/Face Net Travel Protection

Product Information

If you want to know when is the best time to visit Scotland to avoid midges, you need to find out when is the midge season in Scotland. Midges in Scotland love still, warm evenings after rain – as here in the valley of the River Dee, near Banchory, Aberdeenshire. However, there will surely be a few stubborn midges which will swarm and feed at any time of the day, and in adverse weather conditions. These are the names of the mountains in the background, by the way, not the women in the foreground. Lifesystems also have a product formulated especially for midges which contains myrtle extract and DEET.

Despite their hungry blood-sucking nature and tendency to swarm on mass, one single midge has a measured wingspan of just 2-3mm! It's ultra-fine mesh is four times finer than most mosquito nets, giving you even better protection.

Often without as the jacket has full hood but the easy on / off process can be handier than the zipped hood if removal of net is regular. Milder, wetter winters will I suspect lead to more successful midge breeding and increasingly it seems that insects that once failed to survive hard frosts are now wintering through. Other members of this family are known as ‘no see ums’ in North America, and have been implicated as vectors for the spread of disease-causing pathogens in the tropics and elsewhere in the world.

In optimal conditions, with the right type of soil, around half a million midges can hatch from just one two square metre patch of ground.Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH).
