I dont know how I know this (I think it may have been Alan Titchmarsh) but I do remember something about insects being able to see the colour yellow more clearly than any other colour. The comment was made in relation to the colour of flowers which are early blossomers. What about swapping to orange? -----Original Message----- From: diane romano woodward [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 01 March 2004 10:11 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Hi Vis workwear attracting wasps! Had a similarly affected gas worker.(roadside pipes, not indoor) No mention was made of Hi vis vest as an issue. But we advised he always worked with a "mate " during the wasp season, no lone working, and he carried epipen. If it is a yellow vest that is the problem ,orange or fluorescent green might be alternative? Might have to be specially made...
