The best way to prevent cicada killers or digger wasps is to have a great lawn. It’s work to maintain a healthy lawn but it’s the best way to keep these nasty looking insects away. Cicada killers just can’t burrow into a thick covering of grass. You’ll need to fertilize, water and plant extra grass seed.
Even after a mild winter, spring is a time to clean. Overwintering and hibernating pests are preparing to wake up, and your home should be prepared against any infestations.
Please! We don’t want anyone to be hurt! Bees, wasps and other stinging pests are appearing in greater and greater numbers this summer. While you can’t avoid these insects completely, you can do some things to avoid being stung. After all, not everyone owns a bee suit!
Wasps, yellow jackets, hornets and bees send more than 500,000 people to the emergency room each year. They become more active as their hives grow over the summer. Below are the basic facts against protecting yourself against insect stings. Thanks to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) for supplying this information.
US News reported that over half a million people go to the emergency room each year because of insect bites. It’s not usually a problem (rather an annoyance) unless the individual is allergic to stings.
People who are allergic should consider getting the allergy shot. This shot works like a vaccine, building up a tolerance. They should also avoid all stinging insects, including bumblebees.
Digger bees are a part of the solitary wasp family, which means that if you leave them alone, they’ll leave you alone too. We’re seeing a lot of them out lately because the adults emerge in the spring to mate and build their nests.
