Aggressive Stinging Insects!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re in the heat of the season for stinging insects such as paper wasps, baldfaced hornets, yellow jackets, and ground bees. These pests are actively building their hives and multiplying. While it\u2019s best to leave them alone, sometimes action is necessary when their nests intrude on our homes, busy entryways, and common outdoor areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Northern Pest, our techs are fully equipped with the necessary tools and products to safely and effectively address your stinging insect problems. Our techs are equipped with power dusters and products to exterminate the most difficult structural hives. Additionally, we can apply spot treatments in hard-to-reach areas where conventional sprays are ineffective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aggressive nature of most stinging insects instills fear in those nearby, as their venomous stingers can cause severe allergic reactions. If you spot a nest or the presence of multiple stinging insects, contact Northern Pest to remove and eliminate dangerous hives from your home or property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most serious reaction to an insect sting is an allergic one. Protect yourself and others by seeking medical treatment if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022              Hives, itching, and swelling appear in areas other than the sting site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022              Abdominal cramping, vomiting, intense nausea, or diarrhea occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022              You experience any tightness in the chest and have difficulty breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022              You have a hoarse voice or swelling of the tongue or throat, or difficulty swallowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022              Dizziness or a sharp drop in blood pressure occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022              Loss of consciousness or cardiac arrest happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning Ahead!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
