And other areas where you least expect to find them. This includes under the hot water system and even atop the front door.
Before you understand the importance of professional wasp eradication, it is important to know many things about these pests and the challenges they create:
- A wasp nest can have 100 or more wasps.
- Wasp stings are more common than you realise. The incidents increase during the warmer months.
- While most people will recover from the stings quickly, there is always a chance of allergic reaction. These complications can also require hospitalisation.
- People can get multiple stings, especially when you try to remove wasps and their nests yourself. The risks are the same when you use a hose to get rid of them.
Wasp Infestation & Potential Harm
Wasps can be dangerous to both adults and children. They are territorial and aggressive in nature. Besides, they are different from bees in that they can use their stinger multiple times. If children, pets, or anyone else approaches a wasp nest, they will attack. As already mentioned, they attack in packs, which can also prove to be fatal in some cases.
If you have been stung by wasps and have mild to moderate reactions, it is recommended to follow these tips to take care of the problem:
- Wash the stung area using soap and water
- Apply a cold pack at the area to reduce pain and swelling
- Make sure the wound is kept clean and dry
- Use a bandage to cover the area
- You may also use vinegar as a home remedy
If there are severe allergic reactions, it is important to seek immediate medical attention.
