The midges in Russia are not for nothing called "gnats", indeed, there is nothing more disgusting than this small blood-sucking insect, from which, it seems, there is no salvation. Its tiny size allows it to penetrate any cracks, and it stings even more painfully than a mosquito. The venom of the midges causes allergies in many, so doctors have to deal with patients whose bite site swells, reddens and hurts. Often the temperature rises. And then in the remainder of the skin flaunts a bruise. Not only outdoor enthusiasts or gardeners are suffering. Ordinary citizens are attacked right at public transport stops. Remedies for midges on the street, of course, exist.
Fans of traditional wrestling methods light smoke in their area. The method, proven by more than one generation, also copes with modern insects. They still hate smoke. Cons: smoke irritates the human body, coughing starts, watery eyes.
Another classic remedy for midges on the street is vanillin. No matter howstrange, but by applying a concentrated aqueous solution of this substance to the skin, you can forget about the ubiquitous small monsters for a while. True, the effect does not last long, and the procedure will need to be repeated. You can also experiment with other essential oils, such as clove.
There are also passive protective equipment against midges. On the street you can appear only in closed clothes, and the collar and cuffs should fit snugly to the body. Tourists and gardeners love to add a mosquito net to the kit. A headdress equipped with a fine-mesh veil will cover your head from the sun and protect your face from bites.
The chemical industry is also not curtailing its research to create the most effective remedy for midges. You can't show off in a mosquito net on a city street, so citizens prefer various aerosols, creams and gels that promise to scare away any flying bloodsuckers. Some of them contain extracts of odorous oils already familiar to us.
The most radical method to save your garden plot from the presence of midges on it is the treatment of the territory with special means. But the harm from such disinfection is more than good.
A new effective remedy for midges, the acquisition of which the majority of the population does not even think about yet, is a trap device. The bait is a skillful imitation of human life. The device can replicate breathing by emitting streams of warm, moist carbon dioxide. The body of the device emits the temperature of the human body. Spraying of a substance similar to human sweat is provided. At night, the device begins to glow, beckoning the biting brethren to it. Insects attracted by the trap are sucked in. The principle of operation resembles a mini-vacuum cleaner. You can’t get out, and the midge dies inside the device.
High-tech outdoor mosquito repellents include a variety of ultrasonic repellers. Although, according to user polls, the midge is not afraid of them. So we will not describe them either.
Note: as soon as dragonflies fly out massively, which devour midges in huge quantities, the army of small pests is significantly reduced. Therefore, it is worth holding out until the active fighter actions of graceful thin-winged "dragons" in order to rest and relax with relief.
