    Desperate people do desperate things. My friend's youngest son is a magnet for wasps to the extent that on one particular picnic he had two in his mouth! There was talk of putting him in a pillow case for the next picnic!!!image

    He's 6'4" now! Big pillow case!

    I know people do have problems with wasps (I've read your own tale of woe Dove...or tale of ouch) but there are few things funnier than a lone person, at a bus stop or walking along......doing "the wasp dance"!!!! image image I really am very unpleasant! image

    Bear in mind wasps become a real problem towards the end of the summer when their work is done in the nest and they basically go out causing trouble. Using a trap filled with fruit juice etc probably isn't a bad way to go!

    I use the waspinator and it certainly keeps them away from that area , but then they congregate where I haven't got one , they were expensive so only got two , but I have got three years of use from them

    Arneil QVC 2 for £9.95 plus p&p. If they work for you it's worth it.
