Unfortunately, bees and wasps aren’t just a nuisance, they can also be a threat to human health. If an infestation is left untreated, pets, kids, and even the structure of your home, could be compromised.
Loughton Pest Control are a full-service pest control service based in the UK. Here, they share 5 dangers of bee and wasp infestations.
- Allergies – each year, 50 to 100 people die from bee and wasp stings. About 1 percent of the population is allergic to bee and wasp venom, and most of the people who die from stings come from this group. Those allergic to stings should carry emergency epinephrine injection kits as directed by their doctors.
- Kids and pets – beehives and nests are difficult to avoid when they’re located close to your home. Since bees are easily threatened, they can very easily become a risk to pets, visitors and children.
- Swarms – bees have a habit of swarming when they sense even a hint of danger. These swarm are extremely dangerous, as the victim can be attacked dozens of times in just a few seconds.
- Home damage – wasp nests that are built inside can cause a lot of damage to the wallboard and ceiling of the home.
- Scavenger pests – another major problem associated with inside nests is the possibility of scavenger pests that infest abandoned inside wasp nests.
