A company selling a £650 machine to attract then kill midges is selling them by the bucketload. The box attracts the little blighters in then traps them at the rate of up to 2 million midges in an evening by eminating a distinctly bovine pheronome.
It works a trick, and if we can convince everyone in the country to buy one, we might just be free of the annual midge bite torture.

And if you can't afford £650 then less than a fiver will get you adequate protection with a midge head net from here:
