Only insects are different, and one should not lose vigilance, they are aggressive and harmless. The latter do not pay any attention to a man and fly past him, and aggressive insects dig into any person who has fallen, who, relaxed, sits on a summer sun. Bumblebees and bees can be referred to intellectuals, for no reason they will never attack people. But the wasps and hornets are real aggressors, who bite simply in the mood.
Science has not clarified the cause of this aggression, but interesting facts are known. In bees, their sting has small burrs, because of them it is simply impossible to remove it from the skin of a person. Therefore, when a bee stings a person, it loses its sting and with it a part of the stomach that can not be compatible with its life, after a bite, the bee dies. Hornets and wasps bite with an acute smooth sting, it easily penetrates the skin and back, because these insects bite repeatedly, and each time a certain amount of poison is injected into the victim.
And another, experimentally confirmed, but inexplicable fact: angry wasps and bees often attack people who are allergic to their bites, which is a mystery to scientists.
Unwanted neighbors
There are many kinds of wasps, some lead a solitary lifestyle, others live in large families who build special nests. Forest wasps make nests in the branches of bushes and trees, and average wasps - in attics, in sheds, under roofs of houses. This kind of people is a great concern. These wasps are found in the garden, on ripe sweet fruits, attracted by some kind of smell, they swirl over the kitchen table.
Choosing a secluded place, in the spring the wasps build their nest. The overwintered female queen builds a nest carefully and patiently, after a cell, then puts eggs in the nest and feeds the larvae. The wasps are soon born from the larvae. With their appearance, the female no longer produces food and does not fly out of the nest, she leads offspring, and the working wasps expand the nest and feed it and new larvae. In the fall, females and males are excreted from the cells, but the fertilized females remain in winter, and the workers' wasps and males die.
Wasps do a lot of useful things: they destroy harmful insects, pollinate flowering plants, but at the same time their bites and aggression are very dangerous for human health. And if you find a dangerous neighborhood in the country, then, if you can, get rid of them, or call the Ministry of Emergency Situations, they will help you cope with the wasps. If there is no possibility to call for help, you will have to act on your own.
How to get rid of wasps?
It is necessary to remove the nests at dusk, in the evening, when the wasps have already crept into their aspen nest. At this time, you can eliminate all the family of wasps and avoid bites at once, but in the daytime, when you try to disturb the nest, you can subject yourself to a mass attack from the wasps, with all the ensuing consequences.
Take a strong large plastic bag, inside it, apply any insecticide and gently place the socket in the bag, tightly tie the bag, leave for a day. After this, remove the nest together with the dead wasps and burn it. Thus, for one season you will get rid of these volatile terrorists.
When you can not find the nest and the wasps do not give you rest, then try using baits to reduce their number. At the plastic bottle, cut off the upper conical part, turn it upside down and insert back into the remainder of the plastic bottle, where to pour the sweet syrup. Bottles are located in places where there is a large accumulation of wasps, the solution is updated from time to time. Wasps crawl inside for a sweet treat, can not get out back and die in huge quantities.
Safety regulations
When you walk in nature, do not run barefoot on the green grass, go around the hollow trees, because in the grass and in the hollows of trees there may be unsafe insects and wasps. Having bathed in the river, quickly wipe the entire body, the smell of sweat, perfume attracts insects.
Of course, a picnic in nature is a wonderful form of recreation, but do not keep sweet fruit and drinks open, with their scents they will attract unwanted guests for many meters.
Do not wear very bright clothes if you are going to be in places where insects gather - bees and wasps react very vigorously to such bright colors and take fabric for flowers.
If you go on a trip by car, very carefully inspect the salon, so that there are no random fellow travelers in the form of wasps and bees.
If a bee or a wasp flew up to you, do not make any sudden movements, remain motionless and remain calm, do not swing your arms, as this can provoke aggression.
One of the most dangerous to life is an allergic reaction to bites. In severe cases, diarrhea, vomiting, urticaria, extensive swelling, there may be an attack of suffocation and all this will lead to anaphylactic shock, which, if not rendered in time, will result in death.
We know why the wasps bite and how to properly get rid of wasps. With particular severity, one must observe safety rules for those who have an allergy to insect bites.
