Having done a lot of camping in the Scottish Highlands, I always carried midge coils and a burner. Start a coil smouldering, stick it in my tent, and that kills all midges. I also used it against mossies when holidaying on Formentera. One coil burns for several hours.
I've seen them here in Spain, but unfortunately can't remember where....

Think I saw them in Alcampo, round green spiral. Used them camping in France many years ago, very effective.

Hi, we too are being eaten alive but outside not in(so not bed bugs). We are spending hours in a wild weedy area of over 5000sq mts which because its not flat(very hilly) cant get a tractor owner to scalp so trying to pull out all weeds to burn, so I can then get the land levelled.( Have already spent over 1000€ to get part of area levelled by a digger, but dont want to put more money into this task). These little blighters make high pitched buzzing noises around my ears and despite spraying all types of insect repellant, nothing stops them biting and I,m scratching myself raw. Even when we open the car doors they get in and make driving a nightmare. We are in the campo, (next door to the local basura) and I dont know what they are. These are not night insects, just all the time, and removing weeds makes them lessen.please someone tell me what they are. We went out today in car, loads got in and 4hrs later I,m itching like hell with raised lumps which take days to subside.

Regards

Pauline.
