Wasps: Dangerous Stinging Insects
While bees are valuable pollinators, wasps are generally considered nuisance pests that pose health risks to humans. Some of the most common wasp species in Connecticut include paper wasps, yellowjackets, hornets, and bald-faced hornets. All of these wasps are capable of inflicting painful, venomous stings.
Wasp stings are more than just unpleasant - for those allergic to the venom, they can be life-threatening, causing anaphylactic shock. Even for non-allergic individuals, wasp stings can lead to serious reactions like swelling, nausea, dizziness, and more.
With their ability to sting repeatedly, wasps around a home or business are a major liability. Their aggressive nature when guarding the nest can make these stinging insects extremely dangerous, especially when they build near high-traffic areas.
