Get a new tent or buy yourself a mosquito net to hang up in the middle of the one you have. Seriously!

Another good tip for those with a built in inner tent, is to put your tent up with the inner door zipped up and leave it that way unless you are going in or out. Go in, zip it back up behind you, come out zip it back up again. Take a normal bottle of fly spray with you and 10 minutes before you want to go to bed, open the zip, give the inside a blast of spray and zip it up again. That way you can pretty much guarantee a sleep free of bites and buzzing noises round the ears.

So is that avon stuff better than your propper midge replant ?

Yeah you know the DEET repellent that will melt plastic, well to a Scottish midge that's like us putting mint sauce on lamb.
