If you find a bee or wasp hive in a garage or other part of the house, you should stay at a safe distance.

Here are some tips that can help you in such situations, writes MrWasp.

Do not disturb the insects

The worst thing you can do is drill the nest, throw things in it, or try to move it yourself.

No matter how big the nest is, it can put you in great danger and can even damage insects.

Instead, carefully leave the nest and return to a safe place.

In most cases, bees and wasps will only bite if they feel threatened, but it is always good to be at a safe distance.

Take care of children and pets

Once you have found the nest, you should not return to that place as there is a risk of being bitten.

Young children should be kept away from the area, as well as pets such as dogs and cats.

If insects bite children or pets, call an ambulance immediately if symptoms develop into an allergic reaction.

Invite experts

If you find a bee or wasp nest in your home, it is best to call experts right away.

The expert service will know exactly what needs to be done to remove, protect and prevent the return of insects in a humane way.
