We used Skin-So-Soft while at Parris Island for boot camp..I swear it was a dinner bell for the "sand fleas" (biting midges).

Sounds like we are back to smelling and feeling DEET on our skin.
Still concerned about oil based products getting sprayed on expensive and not really cleanable fabrics like wool.
The smell would cause me to have a designated outdoors "beater" kilt to treat. Nae want to sniff DEET on Burns Night.

Something else that works well, at least against mosquitoes, is to put a Bounce brand fabric softener dryer sheet in your pocket. I do this when walking in the woods near my home and it really seems to work for me. Without it I'll often come home with several itchy bites after a 45-minute walk. I haven't tried it against midgies, though.
