When you\u2019re outside this season, watch out for the following stinging insects and have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/stinging-insects\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NJ pest control services<\/a> handle any infestations you have.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bees<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In most cases, honeybees and bumble bees don\u2019t sting people, especially if they\u2019re out foraging for nectar. However, you can get stung by these insects if they feel threatened.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fire Ants<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/komonews.com\/sponsored\/spotlight\/the-5-stinging-insects-to-watch-out-for-this-summer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fire ants<\/a> have painful stings that they use to defend their colonies from threats. If you accidentally disturb a fire ant nest, you can expect to be stung multiple times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hornets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hornets can become very aggressive if you approach their nest. These black and white colored stinging insects have thinner waists than bees and little to no hair on their bodies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paper Wasps<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Paper wasps aren\u2019t as aggressive as hornets and other types of wasps, but you can get stung if you go near their nests. Since these nests are often built near buildings, it can be hard to avoid them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yellow Jackets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2017\/07\/10\/are-yellow-jackets-bees-or-wasps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yellow jackets<\/a> are wasps that have black and yellow, white or red coloring. Although they\u2019re not usually aggressive, they can become so if their nest is threatened.<\/p>\n<p>If you have stinging insects in your yard, contact us for NJ pest control services.
