Bees And Wasps Stinging Dogs

[hellybobs]

Inca is allergic to wasp and bee stings and I've had a couple of near misses with her over the last couple of years.

I have a injection to give her if she gets stung again and good old piriton untill I can get her to the vet...I usually have 20 minutes before she goes into full blown shock and unconciousness.

The problem I'm having at the moment is...with it been so hot out, I've got all the windows and doors open and the little blighters keep coming in.

And Inca been a natural chaser likes to try and catch them, I feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall.

Does anyone have any suggestion of how to stop them coming in?

try pure tee tree oil around all open windows and doors, its a natural insect repellant ( including fleas!)

Do bunches of mint in pots on the window sills help with wasps etc, or is it just with flies?

edited to add this link, the wasp trap is supposed to be quie effective at reducing wasp populations... http://www.eartheasy.com/live_natwasp_control.htm
