Redmond WA. Battling Yellow Jackets

It's been a long hot Summer. In just a few short weeks Fall will be here. Redmond is East of Seattle and us having a battle with Yellow jackets. Swarming stinging pests dive bombing people and pets. Yellow Jackets are bright yellow and black and are generally found outdoors. But the stinging pests may also be found in carports, garages, attics, in residences and other structures. A Redmond neighbourhood homeowner learned that Yellow Jackets are not seen only in the Summer. Many people refer to yellowjackets as bees. But yellow jackets are actually a type of Wasp. The Redmond homeowner was quite alarmed at the number of Yellow Jackets swarming around the property. Judging by the magnitude of the swarm this was a job for a pest control company specialist. Yellow jackloet removal from both the attic and carport was to be left in the capable hands of the pest control experts. A company that did a successful pest control service last year came to mind.  Call in the cavalry AMPM Exterminators.

Yellow Jackets need sweets and protein:

Yellow Jackets search for sweet foods and liquids. Meat and protein sources such as meats on the grill, insects and food garbage. Keep in mind that Winter is for the inseminated queens who tend to reside in attics and walls. Yellow jackets do attack humans and can prove deadly if people have allergic reactions to the sting. The pests can chase humans for hundreds of yards. The yellow jackets stinger does not drop off. So repeat stings are definitely possible. No time Time to waste so the Redmond homeowner contacted AMPM Exterminators to get rid of the Yellow Jacket infestation. Thank goodness the husband kept the contact information from the prior service.

Aggressive is an understatement:

Yellowjackets are very aggressive and can create a lot of stress. Even more than Hornets,  Mud Daubers, Bees and Wasps. Yellowjackets will sting and bite. Remember that the pests do not lose the stinger so can can sting many times. Yellowjackets vigorously protect the nests. Swarm attacks can and will occur if someone accidentally steps on or hits a nest opening. If a nest is spotted do not poke, touch or kick it.  Mowing lawns can be hazardous during the late Summer season when colonies are huge. It's best to call on a professional pest eliminator. AMPM Exterminators covers many cities such as Seattle, Bellevue, Federal Way, Kirkland, Sammamish, Magnolia and more. Keep that AMPM Exterminators number handy.

Prevention  and precautionary tips:

Yellowjackets can be unpredictable and very aggressive. Especially in late summer when the colonies are at the largest. Always look before taking a drink is because the stinging pests will fly into drinks. Yellowjackets hunt for sweet foods and drinks like juices, sodas and yes even adult beverages. Keep all garbage cans and dumpsters covered tightly and away from eating areas. Yellow Jackets buzz around in the garbage for scraps and everything sweet. If swarming Yellow Jackets start attacking stay calm as possible. Because flailing movement will cause the yellowjackets to become even more aggressive. Crushing a yellow jacket is not advisable. The Yellow Jackets give off an alarm pheromone that alerts others in the area to attack. Do not use  gasoline to try to eliminate a yellowjacket nest. This is very dangerous and environmentally unsound. Especially in the scorching heat here in the Puget Sound right now. Grass is dry along with trees and foliage. There are too many blazing forest fires occurring right this minute. An AMPM Exterminators technician recommended recurring services for follow up treatments. The Redmond WA homeowner opted for a three month service for prevention.

Treating a Yellow Jacket sting:

Wash the spot with soap and water to remove venom. Apply cold water, icy cold wet cloth or a paste of meat tenderizer and water.
Give the sting victim a pain reliever or antihistamine to reduce swelling
Calamine products help to reduce itching.
Have the sting victim lie down.
Lower the stung arm or leg below the heart.
Do not drink alcohol or take sedatives.
If the sting is to the throat or mouth, Seek Medical Attention immediately. Swelling can lead to suffocation. Know the signs of allergic reactions. The Redmond homeowner posted the tips on the fridge for the family to adhere to. The AMPM Exterminators technician also reviewed the safety guidelines.
