THE MIDGE SEASON IN SCOTLAND

posted on 30 June 2011 | posted in Articles


The Midge Season in Scotland.

The season begins in April and ends in 0ctober.



The worst part of the season tends to be June. The Highland Biting Midge, the top of league, when it comes to biting midges, usually makes his first appearance in April and stays active for around three months. They start to disappear towards the end of August and can be seen in other parts of Scotland.

Another Scottish midge, that also likes a good bite, although, not as severe, is the Garden Midge, it hangs around a lot longer than the infamous Highland Biting midge. Its season ends at the end of October.

Many people say the season is now extending due to climate change temperatures rising, if this is the case, the little blighters will be in their element and biting will be set to continue for much longer.

There is a new product, new to the U.K, that is, it's the ThermaCELL Midge n Mosquito repeller and is a top seller in Canada, where it is market leader.So how does it work? ThermaCELL uses revolutionary, patented technology to dispense a small amount of repellent into the air over a long period of time. ThermaCELL is powered by a butane cartridge which provides the cordless, portable heat necessary to operate the device (batteries are not needed). It directs the heat to a metal grill. A mat saturated with Allethrin, a copy of a naturally occurring insecticide found in chrysanthemum flowers, is placed on top of the metal grill. The heat generated by the butane cartridge vaporizes the repellent allowing it to rise into the air, creating a 15 x 15 ft (225 sq ft) mosquito
