Downingtown’s Best Stinging Insect Control

Wasps can deliver a painful sting that you won’t soon forget if you get too close to their nests. Some wasps, like the yellow jacket, can be extremely aggressive and territorial. If you get too close to their home, a swarm of yellow jackets will come out to attack you. Yellow jackets can even tag you with a pheromone after the first sting that will cause the other yellow jackets to see you as a threat and sting you as well.

While wasps need to be left alone, they aren’t all bad. Wasps can actually control other insect pest populations around your home as well as pollinate plants.

For Downingtown residents, hiring the best stinging insect control team can make a big difference in how much time you spend outside this summer.

Treatment

The best pest control for stinging insects first starts with an inspection. Depending on the type of wasp, a trusted Downingtown pest technician will need to identify what kind of wasp you have before choosing a particular treatment.

Because wasps can be beneficial, the name of the game is to get the wasps to move on and not make their nests next to your home. Any preventive measure you can take to keep the wasps from building nests, the better. The main idea is you do not want wasp nests near the places around your yard that you frequent or where your children play.

An experienced technician will carefully inspect your property for any wasp nest and promptly remove any that are found.

Risks

While there are wasps that are less aggressive than yellow jackets, any wasp that feels threatened or is disturbed unknowingly by you or your family, can put you  in danger of getting stung. While the sting can not leave any permanent damage, it can be life threatening if you happen to be allergic. Even if you are not allergic to wasps, the pain from the sting can sometimes last several hours and can cause minor swelling.

Wasp stings, unlike bee stings, can happen more than once by the same stinging insect. A honey bee can only sting once before it dies. But a wasp has no such limit.

Wasp stings can even induce nausea and vomiting, especially as the number of stings increases.
