Wa. Resident needs Yellow Jacket removal:
Yellow jackets are aggressive pests that have a sting and bite that are bigger than the swarms’ “buzz” or droning sound. These pests that are a bright yellow and black can be found outdoors, in attics, open carports, garages and other structures. A Burien, Wa. resident learned that yellow jackets are not just Summer pests. A lot of people see the yellow and black markings and label the pests as "bees". But yellow jackets are actually a type of Wasp. The homeowner needed Yellow jacket removal from the attic and AMPM Exterminators was the one to call.
What do Yellow Jackets look for:
The Yellow Jackets are always on the search for sweet foods, sweet liquids, meat for protein and even insects Mid-Summer in June and July, yellowjackets are drawn to protein sources such as hamburgers on grill, insects and love garbage. Yellow jackets are year round problems. In late Summer to early Fall, the yellow jackets thrive on sweets, soda pop and juice. The pesky pests love protein found in meat and bugs. Winter is for the inseminated queens who tend to reside in attics. Yellow jackets will attack humans and can be deadly if people have allergic reaction to the sting. The stinger does not drop off. Do it yourself methods to get rid of the pests could be a problem. Opt for professional pest control service.
Yellow Jackets can be dangerous:
Yellowjackets are very aggressive. More so than other stinging insects such as Hornets, Mud Daubers, Bees and Wasps. Yellowjackets can sting and bite. Since the pests do not lose the stinger, it can sting many times.
Yellowjackets vigorously protect the nests. Swarm attacks can and will occur if someone accidentally steps in or hits a nest opening. Mowing lawns can be hazardous during the late Summer season when colonies are huge. It's best to call on a professional pest eliminator. AMPM Exterminators covers the Burien area and all outlying areas of Seattle.
Here are some safety tips for prevention:
Yellowjackets can be unpredictable and very aggressive. Especially in late summer when the colonies are at the largest. Taking precautions can help avoid being stung.
Look before taking a drink is an excellent precaution. Because Yellowjackets are very attracted to sweet foods and drinks like sodas and juices.
Remember to keep all trash covered and away from where people may be eating. The insects like to nosey around in the garbage for scraps and sweet drinks.
Wear heavy clothing. When walking in wooded areas wear heavy clothing. Lightweight clothing may not be tough enough to give protection from a sting.
Remain calm because when individuals go crazy than the yellowjackets get aggressive.
When finding a nest it's time to call a Pest Control professional. Trying to remove would probably be more dangerous one would think. Crushing or smashing a yellowjacket is not advisable. The Yellow Jackets give off an alarm pheromone that alerts others in the area to attack.
Avoid scented perfumes, hairspray, lotions and brightly colored clothes. Yellowjackets are attracted to all of the above.
Keep children away from overgrown or wooded areas which are prime nesting sites for yellow jackets.
Don’t use gasoline to try to eliminate a yellowjacket nest. It’s dangerous and environmentally unsound.
What to do if someone stung by a yellowjacket:
To remove venom wash the spot with soap and water.
Apply cold water, icy cold wet cloth or a paste of meat tenderizer and water.
Give the sting victim a pain reliever or antihistamine to reduce swelling
Calamine products help to reduce itching.
Have the sting victim lie down.
Lower the stung arm or leg below the heart.
Do not drink alcohol or take sedatives.
If the sting is to the throat or mouth, Seek Medical Attention immediately. Swelling can lead to suffocation. Know the signs of allergic reactions.
OK the Drones are still hovering above and the droning sounds of a Yellow Jacket swarm is too much to handle. It's time to call AMPM Exterminators for professional services to eliminate the Yellow Jacket invasion.
