Anyone know of any natural wasp repellents in the summer that i can spray on.?


Question:
Ive heard tea tree oil shampoo repels wasps, any truth in this?

Answers:
I expect it would, but probably only by virtue of the fact that it's not sweet - wasps are attracted to sweet scents, so avoid perfume or any fruity-flavoured bubbles.

Wasps don't tend to want to sting people anyway, it's only when you flap and bat at them that they'll panic and stick their sting about! The best way to deal with one if it's buzzing about (and I admit this only works for strong-willed people!) is to let it land on you somewhere you can see it, then keep an eye on it while it decides you're not edible (which it will) and watch it fly away.

Or (which is what I used to do) leg it in the opposite direction waving your arms about!
;)

I don't know if it works on wasps, but a very good, totally natural biting insect repellent is based on what is called Neem oil. This comes from the Neem tree and basically works by masking human body and breathing odour so that the mosquitoes can't 'see' you. Might be worth a try on wasps too, it smells nice and is, I believe, made by the homeopathic company called Nelsons.

A wasp trap (juice of beer in a narrow necked bottle) should help minimise the problem at the root too.
No. Just get away fast.
