How to Avoid Wasp Stings
WouterUnlike bees, wasps rarely sting humans without reason. They are stinging insects that rely on venom to protect their nests.
Wasps are a diverse family of insects. Many species are useful for pollination. Some species also build nests around buildings. These nests often contain an open-faced comb. If you see wasps around light sources at night, this may indicate an infestation. If you notice a swarm of wasps swarming around your home, you might need to contact a pest control professional.
Wasps are members of the order Hymenoptera. These insects make and store venom in glands in their abdomens. Their stings are usually non-lethal, but they can be painful. Their stings can also be painful for people who are allergic to them.
There are two types of wasps: social and non-social. Social wasps sting when they feel threatened. They are usually large and aggressive, and they have a swarm of workers. Non-social wasps don’t sting unless they are directly threatened, and they generally do not have a stinger.
The best way to avoid stings is to stay away from stinging wasps, especially in areas where there are lots of them. Also, make sure you don’t leave food or sugary drinks out in the open. If you have an allergic reaction to wasp stings, you will need to seek medical attention immediately.
It’s also best to avoid swatting at wasps. This will only make the wasp more aggressive. Alternatively, you can apply aloe vera gel directly to the sting. You can also use a baking soda solution to sooth a sting.
