It’s springtime, and along with the pleasant sunshine and warmer air comes some unpleasantness that we must all endure. For many folks the extremely high pollen counts are driving you indoors as the yellow coating is covering everything in sight. Many physicians, in New Jersey and other areas in the United States that are experiencing high pollen levels, are reporting that many patients are seeking help with pollen related respiratory problems.
Along with the pollen, it should not come as a surprise to see large amounts of insects flittering from flower to flower enjoying all of nature’s goodness. Already out in full force it seems are the spring and summertime stinging pests that everyone dreads! Bees, hornets, yellow jackets, and wasps have already begun to make their nests in the eaves of homes, branches of trees, attics, soffits, in abandoned rodent holes, in sand boxes, and under rocks and paver stones.
Honey bees are protected species which should not be killed. If you find a honey bee hive, you should contact a honey bee expert who will provide specialized removal services. Yellow jackets, wasps and hornets are extremely protective and aggressive creatures. These insects eat insects and pollen and spend the spring months expanding their colony.
Many people are highly allergic if they receive one venomous sting. Because of their aggressive behavior, it is not uncommon for individuals to be stung more than once by these insects. Even people who have not had an allergic reaction to them in the past often find themselves in the emergency room seeking treatment for anaphylaxis shock, which can be life threatening!
