Wasps and Hornets 

If you've had dinner on the patio in the summer months you know these pests well! Wasps feed on scraps of sweet and protein filled foods, and live in paper nests wedged in between awnings and beams. They have stingers with very powerful stings, but unlike bees, they can sting many times. IF you are concerned about a dangerous nest in your home give us a call! (250) 360-2847

Wasp Sting Treatment/Remedies 

What should you do if you get stung by a wasp or hornet? follow these simple steps: 

1:  Check to see if the wasp’s stinger is still in your skin. Wasps will not leave their stingers behind unless they have been swatted and the stinger       breaks off in your skin. If the stinger is still there, remove it with a pair of tweezers. 

2: Cover the affected area with ice wrapped in a towel or a bag of frozen vegetables. Do not put ice directly on the skin, as this can cause an ice        burn. Leave the ice in place for five minutes; this will reduce blood flow to the affected area and slow the defensive reaction of your body.           
3: Ibuprofen or acetaminophen is helpful for reducing the pain. Calomine lotion can be applied to the affected area throughout the day to                reduce itching. It is important not to itch or scratch the affected area, as this will spread the venom and slow the healing process.
