Say What? They Fly AND they Sting?

Yes they do!  They are the invaders that come to visit every summer…the ubiquitous wasp.  They are one of the most widely feared insects for a very good reason.  Wasps vary in aggressiveness and other behaviors, however, and only a few need to be feared.  Knowledge of their habits is the first step in reducing the fear of them.

A person sensitive to one kind of wasp sting will often be sensitive to other kinds of wasps.  That is not always true with bees.  The first thing you will notice (allergic or not) is local pain, swelling, redness and itching in most Chicagoans.  Some people will suffer symptoms that can include difficulty in breathing, dizziness and nausea.

All of this is no picnic for anyone in Chicagoland.  That’s why we have Kurt and his wasp control crew at www.waspsolutions.net.  As the name implies they have the solution to your wasp problem in the summer of 2018 and beyond.  Do NOT get involved in this sting!  Call A Complete Pest Solution now at (630) 464-1542.

Bee and Wasp Watch.

They may be enjoyable to watch on a Nat Geo special, but when they invade your space you need to take action!  It is imperative to protect your family from bee and wasp stings.  While this is done it is also vitally important to protect those invaluable pollinators from being killed in the process.  The world still REALLY needs them.

Did you know that annually more Americans are killed by bee and wasp stings than by snakes?  A major difference between bees and wasps as well as hornets is that hornets and yellow jackets as well as other wasps are responsible for very little pollination, but their stings are definitely potentially life-threatening.

For more information about their elimination from your property please visit www.waspsolutions.net.  We are A Complete Pest Solution protecting the populace of Chicagoland against those threatening stings.  We really DO have the solution to your pest control problems.  Please call us whenever we can be of service at (630) 464-1542.

Pest Review.

It’s nice to know who the multi-legged enemy may be this summer whether you have seen any yet or not.  Specific regions like Chicagoland are prone to a specific group of pests.  It is good to be educated as to the types that we might see here throughout the remainder of 2018.  Which ones are we most likely to encounter in the upper-Midwest?

Here are some of the most common –

1.  Ants…billions and billions of them all over the place.

2.  Spiders…a friend of man until they occupy your home.

3.  Bed bugs…they spread quickly and bite humans.

4.  Cockroaches…hiding out in dark places around your house.

There are many more, of course and they must be dealt with…or lived with.  The latter is NOT acceptable!  At the first sign of any unwanted critter you should know exactly what to do.  Call one of Chicagoland’s top exterminators.  That’s A Complete Pest Solution serving the suburbs of America’s second city for decades.  Keep this number handy (630) 464-1542.

Look…They are Wearing Yellow Jackets!

You would think that someone or something wearing a yellow jacket is there to help.  That is not the case with the annual warm-weather invaders with wings.  Please understand that yellow Jackets are small, compact wasps that are commonly mistaken for bees.  They tend to nest in walls, in attics, in sub area crawlspaces, in the ground, in trees, and under eaves.

Here is a note of caution…all over the counter sprays for yellow jacket control are highly repellent; so all they do is make the wasps very agitated.  Your chance of being stung goes up exponentially if you try to eradicate them by yourself.  Don’t try to be a hero!  Call a professional exterminator immediately.

We hope that by publishing this warning in early May you will be prepared.  Chicagoland’s yellow jacket exterminator pros are a phone call away.  They are A Complete Pest Solution proudly serving the Western Suburbs and beyond.  The first time you see one of these winged invaders please call (630) 464-1542.
