I've found that stale beer in saucers or any of the yeast based toast
spreads like Marmite/Promite/Vegemite mixed with water to a soup or
cornflakes and Derris Dust mixed together and moistended works on
them.




Strange because they say eating Marmite deters those Scottish midges as
well. ! I personally love Marmite but most of the family hate it! I must
try the Marmite soup idea.
