We Can Help!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Wasps are one of the most dreaded pests to have on your property. Some species swarm when they attack, resulting in dozens of painful stings. It\u2019s important to lower your risk of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.treehugger.com\/lawn-garden\/why-wasps-attack-and-why-it-matters.html\" target=\"_blank\">wasp attacks<\/a> by doing the following.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Don\u2019t wear anything scented. Wasps are sometimes drawn to the smell of perfume, lotion, soap or cologne. When you\u2019re going to be in a place where wasps are likely, skip the scented products.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Watch for nests. Some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/stinging-insects\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\">wasps<\/a> have nests in the ground, making them hard to spot. Stay away from areas in the ground where you see them flying in and out, since it usually means there\u2019s a nest nearby. Wasps will sting when their nests are disturbed.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Stay calm. If a wasp lands on you, remain calm until it leaves. If you\u2019re too nervous to do that, gently move it away with some paper.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Keep your shoes on. Don\u2019t walk barefoot in patches of clover or areas with ground cover that is in bloom.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 This summer, keep these tips in mind anytime you\u2019re outdoors, whether it\u2019s in your yard or at a local park. Wasps are a common problem that our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2015\/08\/24\/yellow-jackets-paper-wasps-and-nesting-behavior\/\" target=\"_blank\">NJ pest control<\/a> professionals deal with all the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Don\u2019t take the risk of handling a wasp problem on your own.
