The yellow jacket sting is only dangerous in two scenarios. If there is a swarm they can attack and kill a healthy, non-allergic human through repeated stings. That being said, some people have survived such attacks. The second situation is if you are allergic. If you are you need only be stung once to have your life put at risk. There will be swelling and rashes across the body as well as a raised area where the sting occurred. The individual may have trouble breathing, standing up, and even staying conscious so if someone is allergic make sure to have an EpiPen or to call an ambulance right away.
The yellow jacket builds nests annually and they die off at the end of the fall when the first frost hits. Now a lot of people hate it when spring comes and it’s wonderful and warm and then suddenly there is a frost and a cold day, everyone is shivering, angry that the warmth was interrupted but don’t get too mad just yet. When this happens thousands of wasp queens that have come out of hibernation to build their nest will die instantly from the shocking cold, preventing thousands of nests from forming on thousands of properties across the country. So don’t complain when there is a cold day in spring. It’s a boon.
Now the best way not to get stung is to get rid of the nest. The yellowjacket builds its nests underground so they are very tough to find and identify. Even following the wasp back to its nest may not help you find it. So what is there to do? Call Pest Control Oshawa, our trained and licensed technicians can kill, remove, and destroy the nest in one hour and leave a residual spray that lasts for the whole summer.
