It doesn't work
Just visited Skye and the Highlands. I liberally covered my face and arms with Smidge spray and rubbed it in. I got really badly bitten, it had no effect whatsoever.
The head net did work however but the damage was done by then. 😕

We have been using our smudge cups for ages and they work brilliantly. One of the tops for out cup broke and the customer service was excellent and they sent a replacement top very quickly. Highly recommend. Beth at customer service was really helpful.
Works in the tropics
I am a frequent visit to Thailand and live out in the sticks in the north. Due to the vegetation and ponds on our lands, mozzies are a real pain.
I used Smidge for the first time last year and again on my current trip as I was fed up with using deet for well known reasons.
Smidge really works and four days into this trip only one bite and that was down to me missing a spot. Even my Thai neighbours have raided my supplies. Highly recommend
The website and repellent were excellent
The website was helpful on our tour of Scotland on how to keep those pesky midges from spoiling our holiday. Smidge spray was excellent repellant. Fortunately we did not have to use head nets.
Swift delivery
It's useless
It's useless. "Scientifically proven"? Not by this scientist!
Not only did it completely fail to deter the midges and mosquitos, but the expensive little can failed to spray at all after the first use.

Tried this product in Scotland to protect against the evening midges, if anything I’ve been affected and bitten more with than without the spray. It has made zero difference. Very disappointed as it came recommended.

Useless and overpriced. Complete letdown
So I've used this for a while now over different seasons and not once has it worked. Today was the last straw. In the garden before 8am as lots needing done. Smothered myself with smidge and not 30 seconds later did a midge land on me and bite me. Thought I'd give it longer to work. An hour later and I've had to come in as I'm being eaten alive. Absolutely useless product - which I thought would be guaranteed to work - especially with the pricing point!! My only option now is to sell it to try and recoup some of the money and try something else! My guess is, that if midgies absolutely love you, this won't work on you. What can I say, I'm irresistible 😩😜

A no-fuss ordering process and very fast delivery. Thank you.
Haven't yet tried the product (no wee beasties here fortunately!).
The tick tool is a total rip off
The tick tool is a total rip off, 50p worth of product which doesn’t even look fit for purpose.

Service & Delivery was excellent especially as coming to Jersey in the Channel Islands. The product was beautifully wrapped and is the perfect size for travelling. I will try the Moskito Guard when I am on holiday in the Maldives during December so will give another review then
