The pub garden at The Village will be safeguarded by this device. Midges make outdoor life difficult if not unbearable, and the pub has a lovely garden, now especially popular as it is illegal to smoke in public indoors. So to protect the customers a "midge eater" has been installed. Midges detect their prey by following a Carbon dioxide gradient in the air and also from certain organic compounds on animal breath. The burning propane produces the Carbon dioxide, and by adding a few goodies the midges move in, where they are sucked into a bag. One of these can clear a full acre of midges. Beyond across the road Loch Long runs up beside Arrochar.
