Wasps are only little insects – surely, getting rid of them is easy. Not!
You don’t need killer powder when moving wasps from your property. You have wasp removal experts just local to you. When faced with a wasp nest in your home or garden, saving money and dealing with the problem might be tempting. Ridding yourself of a wasp infestation isn’t as simple as it sounds; however, there are several different reasons why this is a terrible idea.
First and foremost, you should know that wasps are not just annoying pests but can be dangerous creatures in swarms. Wasps can sting several times without dying and inflict serious pain on their victims. If you have allergies, even minor stings can cause serious problems.
It’s best to leave wasp control to professionals who know what they’re doing. The last thing you want is for one of these creatures to sting you because you tried to remove them yourself. Even if your reaction isn’t severe enough for immediate medical attention, it could still lead to anaphylaxis (an allergic reaction that affects multiple organ systems).
Here are three reasons to leave wasp nest removal across the UK to professionals.
Allergies
A nest on your property is more than an irritant – it could be deadly. If you are one of the unfortunate few allergic to a wasp’s venom, a nest on your property is more than an irritant – it could be deadly. If you have never been stung, you might be allergic without knowing!
When wasps feel threatened or you come near their nest, there is a strong likelihood that you will get stung. If you are one of the unfortunate few allergic to a wasp’s venom, a nest on your property is more than an irritant – it could be deadly. If you have never been stung, you might be allergic without knowing.
The symptoms of wasp sting allergies are immediate and can include:
- Redness
- Swelling or hives
- Itching
- Burning sensation
- Nausea and vomiting
- Difficulty breathing or swallowing
Getting Hurt
A wasp sting can be painful, and if you know you are not allergic to wasp venom, it’s not a big deal. If you have young children, they may be unaware of the danger, so it is best to remove it properly.
You should know it hurts if you have been stung by a wasp. People get stung by wasps in many ways, but the most common way is when they disturb a nest or accidentally step on one.
The main goal is to remove the stinger as soon as possible. The longer you wait after stung, the more venom will flow into your body. This can cause swelling and discomfort lasting for several days or even weeks.
One of the most important things to remember when trying to remove a stinger from yourself or someone else is not to squeeze or pinch at the area where the stinger entered your skin. This will only cause more venom to enter your body and possibly worsen things.
Equipment
You may think that destroying this type of nest is as simple as lighting it on fire or spraying it with insecticide, but both these methods can be dangerous and aren’t guaranteed to work. If you attempt to get rid of the nest yourself, you could end up with stings all over your body or worse.
Destroying a wasp nest isn’t as easy as it looks. Often they can appear in difficult-to-reach places like high up a tree or a chimney. You shouldn’t risk your safety trying to reach this awkward place. Professionals can access specialised equipment such as ladders and other equipment to make the job easier and safer (especially for you).
