Bill,

All I do is wear lots of loose-fitting clothes, including long-sleeve 
shirts and long pants.  I try to keep the most skin covered as possible.  
I know it's hot, but its better than a dozen stings.

As as aside, I really dont' know why wasps just LOVE towers.  Maybe some 
insect expert can suggest some preemptive measures.
