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

• <div><p>Whereas a honeybee can only sting you once, a yellow jacket can sting you multiple times because they don&rsquo;t leave stingers in the skin. 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: How do I know if I have a bee infestation?

• <div><p>Look for consistent buzzing sounds, visible hives, or increased bee activity around your property.</p></div>

Q: Can I remove animals myself?

• <div><p>DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. 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. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away. </p></div>

Q: Is it illegal to kill honey bees?
