To repel biting midges, use insect repellents with DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus. Wear long clothing and light colors to minimize skin exposure. Avoid outdoor activities during dawn and dusk. Keep doors and windows closed, or use screens to create a barrier. Remove stagnant water sources and use fans or air conditioning. Natural repellents like citronella, lavender, or eucalyptus may help. Employ these strategies to reduce midge bites effectively.
