Re: Wasps

I wish someone would invent a cream or spray to put on and would keep the wasps away from us . I hate them and they always Buzz back even if you try to walk away quietly.

Bye the way what is best used for their nasty sting

Re: Wasps

Antihistamine if you react. But I repeat wasps do an awful lot of good in the garden.

Re: Wasps

Vinegar on the sting ...

Re: Wasps

I seem to remember Grandma used to put something named 'Dolly Blue' on stings. Not sure what that is or if it is even still available.

Re: Wasps

Yes my mpother used Dolly Blue bags, they were put into your washing i think to improve the whites, and also on my wasp stings.

Re: Wasps

Good grief I had forgotten all about blue bags-yes they were popular

Re: Wasps

Good for nettle stings too! Had wasp in my kitchen yesterday. Don't have any mother in laws though, thank heavens!

Re: Wasps

Wasps and MIL, ones a nasty loud buzzing stinging thing, the others an insect.

Re: Wasps

I've seen a few of the horrible blighters, they scare me to death! I've always had a wasp phobia and when I was actually stung the pain was unbearable, bees don't bother me as they don't follow me around but wasps serve no purpose imo!
