Frequently Asked Questions

For an average size property (up to 850sq m) The Midge Man will be on site for 30-45 minutes.

This may vary subject to a site inspection.

The residual effect of our product breaks down with UV rays after 2-3 hours so after that time period rain or sprinklers will have no impact on the results.

Our core business is Midge's and it's what we do best. As a bonus our treatment can remove Mozzies and other annoying insects as well.

Our treatments are all external and 100% Natural and Safe.

After 30 minutes you are good to go. This gives sufficient time for the treatment to dry and you, the family and the pets can start to enjoy the outdoors.

The Midge Man only treats outside as that is where the nests and breeding predominantly occur. As a result, your open areas will be fine. 

Our recomendation is a 2 pack in the first 7 days followed by regular treatments. The more regular the treatments the quicker you will break the breeding cycle.

This varies dramatically due to location, waterways, swamps, neighbours, density of gardens but 4 weeks tends to be the average. 

Biting midges are not known to transmit any human diseases in Australia.

However, bites often cause a severe local (allergic) reaction and can be painful and/or irritating for some people.

The severity of the reaction varies from person to person.

People who are regularly exposed to biting midges may become desensitised over time, eventually experiencing only a very mild reaction or no reaction at all.

Others, including tourists, may experience a severe reaction with red, swollen bites measuring several centimetres in diameter.

Some people can be unaware they have been bitten as the itching may not commence for some hours.

The bites are usually painful and itchy.

They may also form blisters, become weepy and persist for days or weeks.

Applying an ice pack or using a mild antihistamine may provide some relief.

Secondary infections can result from scratching the bites and may require the application of antiseptic cream or antibiotics.

In severe cases, medical advice may be required.
