Every year, 500,000 Americans visit the Emergency Room due to injuries related to stinging insects. Yellowjackets, red imported fire ants, wasps and hornets inflict stings that can be more than just a nuisance. These pests can swarm an individual and cause serious health effects.
The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) has a team of entomologists who can provide information about the threat of red imported fire ants and stinging insects and the importance of working with a licensed pest control professional.
