Stinging Insects

BITING & STINGING INSECTS

It’s time to bite back

Wasps, Bees & ‘Jack Spaniards’ send people running with good reason; their stings hurt and cause severe allergic reaction. Because of the stinging aspect, it is crucial to deal with any infestation very early, before they multiply. It is also important to use experts such as the Pestex technicians, especially when it comes to the removal of stinging insect’s nests.

Wasps, Bees & Jack Spaniards

Signs of Infestation

Nests. Often located in trees, wooden beams, window frames, bee’s nests are a honeycombed pattern structure with a wax-like texture. A Jack Spaniard nest will have the same pattern but are slightly smaller and darker in colour. Wasp’s nests are oval shaped, with a paper-like substance that is light brown or grey in colour.
Sightings. Seeing the bees, wasps and Jack Spaniards flying around means that they have come from a nest nearby
Unpleasant Odour. Nests can get damaged or fall to the ground, resulting in a rotting smell around your property.

Fire Ants

What sets these pests apart from other ants is bold red colour and longer antennae. Approximately ¼ inch in length, they thrive in tropical climates with good supplies of water nearby to ensure their survival. They will bite humans, especially whendisturbed, with a painful sting. The sting contains a toxic venomthat can cause serious allergic reactions for some people.

Bed Bugs

There’s a reason for the popular saying “Goodnight, don’t let the bed bugs bite”. Bed bugs are so small (approximately 4mmin length) that their bites are usually the first sign that you have a bed bug problem.It must be treated immediately because bed bugs spread quickly, traveling by attaching themselves to handbags, luggage, backpacks. They love soft and upholstered surfaces so are not limited to beds and bite in clusters instead of individual bites. At Pestex, we’ve changed the saying for our customers to“Goodnight, the bed bugs have given up the fight”.
