Argh! The midges are out in force this morning, and my laptop is getting covered in them. We've got some citronella lanterns, but they're still coming.

Any tips to get rid of them, other than smearing my entire body in garlic?

some swear by avon skin so soft..

tried various brands of midge repellent, the jungle one works for a while..

go with the garlic, has so many good properties so a win double..

The Town by The Cross

Burning citronella will help to deter midges, but those in the know, including the Royal Marines guarding the nuclear base at Faslane on Scotland's west coast, call on an unexpected source for all their midge needs: Avon.

The cosmetic company's Skin So Soft range does more than guarantee velvety-soft upper arms after a bath: it's also a powerful midge-repellent. The Soft & Fresh Dry Oil Body Spray (£2; avonshop.co.uk) provides an oily protective layer so effective that the soldiers buy it in bulk.

"Obviously we don't market our product as a midge-repellent, but its reputation has spread by word of mouth," says Lydia Durkan of Avon. "We know that film crews use it a lot when they are up in Scotland and Mel Gibson used it when he was making Braveheart here. We're very pleased that it's proving so popular."

I have been told this works, get some military insect repellant and spray it on someone. The midges will head for the insect repellant.

Leave the laptop open for the midges and move away from the laptop?

I can second that from spending years on faslane. All true. Works almost as well as deet, but you don't smell like a chemical factory (or central warrington ).

At least you get nice smelling marines.

How do you keep flies out of your kitchen? Put a bucket of shit in the living room of course.

Your laptop give off ultra violet light radiation which draws them in. We burn incense which they seem to dislike

Well I don't mind a spot of dusting if that helps you along. If it was sex, however I'm pretty crap at that
