The sound of a buzzing wasp can be alarming. Their stings are painful and, at worst, can cause severe allergic reactions. A sting may create swelling that extends to the immediate area around the site of the sting (if a wasp stings your finger, your hand may swell). An allergic reaction, on the other hand, is serious and requires immediate attention. You may experience breathing problems, hives and dizziness. These are signs that you need a trip to the emergency room before things become more serious.
Whether your response is minor or serious, it’s best to simply avoid getting stung in the first place. Our trained pest control professionals understand the different kinds of wasps, where they make their nests, and how to exterminate them using products with low environmental impact. Take a look at a few other reasons you may want to consider us:
- Yellow jackets, bald-faced hornets, paper wasps and mud daubers can look a lot like each other. Professional differentiation is important in locating the source of the problem.
- You might be mistaking honeybees for wasps. The honeybee population is declining at an alarming rate. Our ecosystem needs them to pollinate crops for our food source. They are less dangerous to humans and more mild-tempered (most stings come from yellow jackets or paper wasps). It’s best to seek professional advice before getting rid of bees.
- Trying to eliminate a wasp nest of any kind puts you at risk of unnecessary pain. But a professional has the tools to take care of the job without harm.
