Corn Lice repellant advice…..(doing our heads in)

[Saxo Appeal]

Hey folks

We are once again on our holidays for a few weeks, and noticed the place invaded by Corn Lice

…..honestly they are EVERYWHERE !!

Can anyone please recommend a plug in or candle / oil we can burn to fend off these little pain in the arse beasties!

Thanks 🙂

We used citronella candles around the awning or sitting out area and inside the caravan. They don’t normally bite unlike the Scottish Midge, but to try and deter them from landing on us we would use a proprietary insect repellent containing Deet.

These can also help but not for indoor useage.

These Mosquito Coils release an insect repellent and smoke when lit, lasting for up to 8 hours.

Someone told me that burning cannabis deters mossies and other nasties. Couldn’t possibly comment.

We had a plug in repellent years ago. Seemed to help. Perhaps liberal applications of Avon Skin so soft on all of you will also deter them.
BTW never heard of corn lice. Had to Google it. For those as poorly educated as me, they are also known as Thrips or Thunder flies
