A-Tex Pest Management<\/a> is here to help you be more aware of stinging insects, and how to avoid their sting. There are several ways you can avoid the sting of wasps, bees and yellow jackets. Most of these tips and tricks don\u2019t require a lot of work, just a little bit of thought. <\/p>\nWear Light Colored Clothing<\/h2>\n
By in large, bees and other stinging insects are not as drawn to light colored clothing as they are dark or bright colors. This is especially true for bright floral prints. You don\u2019t want a bee to mistake you for a flower garden. By wearing lighter colored clothing, you are less likely to attract bees. <\/p>\n
Avoid Perfumes and Lotions<\/h2>\n
When spending time outdoors, you should avoid wearing sweet smelling perfumes and lotions. Bees especially are attracted to sweet smelling things, like flowers. You don\u2019t want them to be attracted to you because you smell similar to the nectar they are trying to find.<\/p>\n
Be Aware When Outdoor Dining<\/h2>\n
Nothing says summer like eating your dinner outside or having a BBQ on your back patio. When you decide to eat outside, beware of bees and wasps. If you are eating any foods that are high in sugar, like fruit or desserts, they will be attracted to it. Before you pick up your drink, especially if it is something like a can of soda, make sure a wasp or bee hasn\u2019t climbed inside to sneak a taste themselves.<\/p>\n
Always Wear Shoes<\/h2>\n
There are some stinging insects, like yellow jackets and bees, that actually build their nests underground. When you walk around without shoes on, you run the risk of stepping on one and in turn, getting stung. <\/p>\n
Listen<\/h2>\n
Often, when bees, wasps, or other stinging insects are angry or agitated, their buzz will all of a sudden get louder. If you are spending time outside, and you hear the loud buzzing of a bee all of a sudden, you may want to watch closely for a bee or wasp. It is wise to leave the area when you hear their buzz get louder out of nowhere.<\/p>\n
Sit Still<\/h2>\n
If you by chance, have a bee or wasp land on you, your first reaction might be to swat at it. This couldn\u2019t be farther from the right thing to do. This will make the wasp or bee feel threatened which is when they are the most dangerous. By remaining calm, it will most likely fly away and find what it\u2019s really looking for on its own. If you lightly blow on the bee it can help encourage it to move on as well.<\/p>\n
