Review: Very effective and worth the cost. - I bought the Smidge Insect Repellent Spray for a trip to Scotland, knowing I’d be facing swarms of midges. It’s a compact bottle with a spray top, making it easy to apply, and the liquid consistency spreads smoothly over skin. The formula contains 20% Picaridin, which is recommended by health authorities and is known to be DEET-free, water- and sweat-resistant, and safe for use on children over 2 years old. In terms of performance, it did a good job repelling midges, especially when I applied a thick, even layer to exposed skin. Despite sitting in literal clouds of midges, I only got a few bites on areas I’d covered. However, the claim of “up to 8 hours of protection” didn’t hold up in my experience and I found I needed to reapply after a few hours. Given the small bottle size and the need for generous application, it can run out quickly if you’re relying on it alone. I’d recommend pairing it with a midge net for your face, which I used and found very effective. The spray is pleasantly scented, non-greasy, and didn’t irritate my skin.
Review: This product is worth its weight in gold against midges and mosquitoes. - 100% effective against all mosquitoes and midges. I absolutely highly recommend this product after using it every day in the Highlands of Scotland whilst overseeing the construction of windfarms in remote areas. Hats with face covering veils were used, alongside other insect repellents against the clouds of midges and mosquitoes without success. It was only when the local inhabitants recommended this product that we tried its effectiveness. The local villagers were not wrong! It surpasses anything we have tried before and is seemingly free from any adverse chemical that may affect the skin whilst easy to apply with a pleasant subtle fragrance once applied. I will admit, it works faultlessly for 8 hours but does need a second application after a full 8-9 hours of full protection

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many adult applications in one bottle?**
A: a bottle lasts about 4 days per adult in the west of Scotland during midge season.

**Q: does it work in the Caribbean?**
A: Well I've just returned from Trinidad and Tobago (so south Caribbean) and Smidge worked in the rainforest walks and all other wild places we went to. No malaria there so can't report on those mossies, but Smidge is reported to act for those. No reason not to believe that based on my use in UK, Europe and now Caribbean.

**Q: Does this work on mosquitoes??**
A: Well I took it to Croatia where I usually get bitten and came home without a bite. So it works for me. A friend also took it to Barbados and he said it was good. I would say it is worth a try.

**Q: Does this contain DEET?  Thank you**
A: No, and thats why i buy it. There is an information page about what is in it on http://www.wikaniko.com/shop/media/wysiwyg/Smidge.pdf. It does what it says but I have to admit I dont know really what the properties of Saltidin are and that is the main ingredient. I find it works better than DEET, and In the amazon basin the DEET seems almost to attract mossies

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable Midgie Defence – A Must-Have for the Scottish Outdoors
*by ​***R on 19 April 2025*

Reliable Midgie Defence – A Must-Have for the Scottish Outdoors I bought the Smidge Insect Repellent Cream ahead of a recent trip to the Highlands, and I’m so glad I did. With Scotland’s notorious midgie population, I needed something that really worked, and Smidge absolutely delivered. The cream goes on smoothly without feeling greasy, and the scent is surprisingly pleasant – not overpowering or chemical-heavy like some other repellents. What really impressed me was its staying power. I was outdoors for hours, walking through wooded and lochside areas where midges were swarming, and I came away bite-free. It held up well even when I started to sweat or got caught in a drizzle, which makes it ideal for hiking and camping. The fact it also protects against ticks, mosquitoes, and horse flies is a real bonus. It’s safe for the whole family (over 30 months), which gives peace of mind, especially if you're travelling with kids. I now keep a tube in my rucksack during spring and summer. Whether you're out walking, gardening, or just enjoying a summer BBQ, this is a brilliant product for anyone living in or visiting midgie country.
