First Aid for Bites & Stings
As Heard on BBC Radio Cornwall
First aid is our first reaction to an insect bite or sting. First Aid measures are simple and work on simple principles - so take a deep breath and stay calm at all times.
Below you will find details about both first aid for sting and bites. The difference being - a bite is caused by the mouth of the insect and a sting is caused by the hollow tube at the tip of the insects abdomen.

Pest Control Advice:
Getting rid of Wasps and other insects like ants, fleas and bedbugs is not as simple as many pesticide manufacturers will lead you to believe. The chemicals or poisons on offer in supermarkets and shops often have a fraction of the effect that is achieved through professional products and this means you are likely to get through many cans of treatment without actually achieving full control. As the only Exeter pest control company offering a dedicated insect control service we are able to deliver pest control treatments that are often guaranteed to work.
Pest control is all about understanding the pest you are trying to eliminate or prevent. The Wasp for example creates a wasp nest early in the year so if you wanted to control wasps in Exeter you would probably guess that checking for a new wasp nest in your loft in April and May would allow you to remove a wasp nest safely before it became too large. By understanding your pest, you are able to plan control in advance, before infestation occurs and the cost of elimination becomes high.
WaspKill UK are here to help - so why not give us a call and put your trust in the experts.
