Wasps

Todays Top Tip. Probably.

Went to a National Trust garden today and decided to have an overpriced cup of coffee before heading home, as you do. As I sat down I glanced up and saw bag of water containing 2p suspended above my head. After a quick check for a prankster with a pin I noticed several other bags also suspended around the café. It turns out they were being used as a fly / wasp repellent.

So there you have it - no need for any expensive Waspbane nonsense - just get yourself a bag of water and tuppence. Sorted.

Did you see any flies/wasps?

They were too busy investigating the abandoned Bee Hives!

Any goldfish in them?

How does that deter them then?

 

[Codford]

Might be something in it. Snopes categorizes it as "UNPROVEN"

 

[Millet]

It don't deter them as they are already deterred elsewhere in the bins.

Does it have to be 2p? Bit steep for some, so do you think a 1p would also work?

Possibly. I will ask the café lady on my next visit - although she seemed very cagey last time.
