I was once told, daily doses of Marmite warded off the midges.

I did wonder what the percentage of midges was , who hated Marmite? Did it correlate with the human percentage?

So how many million Scottish midges equal one Aussie mosquito, they can carry sheep away.
I can guarantee that Vegemite, the superior to Vegemite does not keep them away .

I find gin goes quite nicely with lots of things. But more so in the summer.
My late father-in-law served in West Africa during the war. One night he got totally parasitic in the Mess and collapsed onto his bed forgetting all about his mosquito net. Next morning he woke up – not a mark on him. So it's true that a surfeit of alcohol keeps the mozzies away.

I used to know a family friend who was in West Africa during WW2 as well. He didn't narrow it down to a particular Country, though, and it's many years too late to ask him now.
His favourite story though was of a local man who worked in the barracks gardens. He was told to water the plants on a particular day of the week. This he dutifully did, even in the midst of a tropical downpour..... :)
