I am off this weekend for a weeks camping in north devon.  My partner has a thing about wasps.  We held a BBQ this weekend and his day was ruined by the amount of wasps there were buzzing about.

This made me realise that our camping trip could also be ruined by wasps.  So, does anyone know of a wasp repellent that you can spray on to your skin, or anything else to keep the little blighters away from the tent?

All suggestions very welcome!

Hi Caline,

    have you seen this thread?

I don't get bothered buy them because my partner and the kids run round like looneys when 1 comes anywhere near us so they chase them lol

 but anything else that has wings and teeth will find me for a quick bite DOH

Rehd's idea sounds great, but as a back up another thing to do is to smear some jam (etc) into a jar and then tie string around the jar and hang it upside down from a branch or bush a little way from your tent/van etc, the Wasps that do visit the area fly up into the jar (to get to the jam) but cannot fly back out again, when you leave the site, you can upright the jar (and run) freeing the wasps without harm.
