BA's website says "devices designed specifically to stun or immobilise are completely forbidden" and goes on to talk about stun guns, tasers, and "animal killers". I assume an insect bat falls foul of the latter, but TripAdvisor is full of people extolling the virtues of such devices in wasp-prone areas. I assumed they'd taken their own with them but now I'm not sure. Does anyone have any experience?

If we can't take it it'll go back to Amazon!
