Preventing Insect Stings
Follow these tips to avoid stinging insects:
- Keep away. Stay out of the "territory" of stinging insects' nests.
- Hire a trained exterminator to destroy hives and nests around your home.
- If you encounter flying insects, remain calm and quiet, and move slowly. Do not "swat" them.
- Avoid wearing brightly colored clothing and heavy scented perfume when outdoors.
- Keep all food covered until eaten.
- Insects are attracted to trash containers; keep these areas clean and keep them away from your area of activity.
