Getting stung by a wasp or bee is a painful experience and can be live menacing to anyone who might be allergic to stings. Nevertheless, it is possible to minimize these risks by taking wise precautions when outdoors and making sure that wasp and bee shelters are rightly managed. They can also be confused with bees, in certain honey bees. Nevertheless, these differ in color from golden brown to almost black and are downy than wasps. Only female wasps have a sting which they may use often when they feel provoked. In most cases, their sting leads to no harm, though it can be life menacing if you are allergic to stings. Treating their nest is usually the most efficient way to control their issue and minimize the threat of stings. They can make nests outdoors beneath eaves or, where they can gain access, they can seek sheltered places inside your home, like roof spaces, wall cavities or attics. When a nest is discovered, you should not try to remove it by yourself, rather contact We Clean Pests for expert advice on wasps and can send a wasp control professional who will be able to deal with your wasp issue appropriately.
