If you’ve ever been outside enjoying the summer and fall seasons, then you are sure to have experienced a buzzing annoyance at one point or another as well. Stinging insects are in the air and thriving during summer and fall time, and they can cause you or a loved one some serious pain if a sting occurs. Stinging insects are dormant in the winter. In the spring they start to build their colonies which thrive in summer arrives and are most active in the fall as their prepare their queen and nests for winter. Some of these stinging insects have the ability to sting more than one time, making them a dangerous risk to have around, especially for those who will have a severe allergic reaction to the sting. A Five Star Termite & Pest Control outlines some of the problems of wasps below.
Food at Picnics Attract Yellow Jackets
Summer and fall are great times to entertain outdoors. Whether you are hosting a backyard barbeque or taking a picnic basket to the park that is loaded with goodies, beware of the ominous yellow jacket. Yellow jackets are a common problem at outdoor events because they are highly attracted to food, and more than anything they love to feed on sweets and meats. Yellow jackets are social stinging insects that can have thousands of members living within a single nest. Yellow jackets have yellow and black faces and a yellow and black body that forms a band like pattern. Do your best to cover your food while eating out doors to avoid any contact with these aggressive stinging insects.
A Wasp Can Sting You Multiple Times
Wasps come in many different colors and sizes, the most common species of wasps is usually yellow, but colors can vary from red, brown and black as well. Wasps can grow to be up to an inch in length and they always will have two sets of wings. Wasps can be especially dangerous because they have the ability to sting their victims multiple times. Wasps are similar to other stinging insects in that they often attack a person when they feel threatened. Many home owners make the terrible mistake of attempting to remove a wasps nest on their own. Not only is this dangerous, but it can result in a swarm stinging you and anyone else who happens to be nearby.
