Q: Can I remove animals myself?

• <div><p>DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons.

Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself. </p><p>Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea.

Q: How many times can a human be stung by a yellow jacket?

In the unfortunate case that you get stung by a yellow jacket, it&rsquo;s important to react calmly and quickly. Immediately ice the affected area until the swelling subsides. You may also take an antihistamine if necessary. If you experience an allergic reaction to a yellow jacket sting or have been stung several times, seek medical care right away. </p></div>

Q: What happens to the bees after professional removal?

• <div><p>Bees are relocated to safe habitats, ensuring their continued role in pollination without risk to your home.</p></div>
