Come to the West Scotland( west Highlands in particular) between mid May(not here yet this year) and early September and you will find out! On a bad day the moors and hills look as though there is a black haze about 6ft thick just above the ground,then we pray for a wind as we dive for cover! There is no really successful deterrent , although "Avon Skin so soft" is used by those that know. It helps, but we just give up what we are doing and retreat indoors, shut the windows and pour ourselves a G&T.
