LondonGuy Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hi virgin boater here! Are Gnats a problem on the broads in summer? (I know some people are almost immune, but I'm not) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I know some people are almost immune, but I'm not) They can be. I have some insect repellent spray to use, but I have head that there is a product from Avon that works well, too. I believe it’s called Skin So Soft, but I’m sure that someone will correct me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpy Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 They can be,depending on where you're moored - Womack and Ranworth Islands are pretty bad. We use Avon 'Skin so Soft' oil on exposed skin and burn a couple of citronella tea lights at night. Kathy reacts badly so also takes a daily antihistamine during the season.

Sam Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I use Jungle Formula but it doesn’t smell very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lulu Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Used Avon Skin So Soft a few weeks ago when we were bombarded by midges on Ranworth island. Absolutely brilliant stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessan Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Another thumbs up for Avon Skin so Soft from me. It contains citronella but doesn’t really smell of it. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTBoater Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Skin so Soft for me too. I have stocked up this year as it does tend to sell out when midges etc are bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I'm another Skin So Soft convert. I got my last supply of 2-3 bottles of the stuff from Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
