Reasons Why Bees Enter Buildings:

  • If only one bee enters the building, it is most likely an accidental entry.
  • There is a chance that bees may build nests in hidden areas such as gaps in nearby exterior walls or air conditioner units.
  • It is also possible for bees to enter the building due to pest control activities being carried out downstairs, which causes the bees to flee upwards due to the smell of the pesticides.

What to do when a wasp enters the building:

  • As long as you don’t intentionally disturb the wasp, it won’t attack you even if it flies onto your clothing.
  • However, when facing hornets, it’s best to remain calm. Even if there is only one, being stung two to three times can be life-threatening.
  • If you see a wasp enter the building, the best way to drive it away is to open all windows and use an electric fan to blow it away. The wasp will naturally fly away.
  • Citizens should not attempt to spray insecticide themselves because wasps are toxic. Once accidentally stung by a wasp, the affected area will become swollen and poisoned, and in severe cases, there is a chance of going into shock.
  • It is recommended to inform the management company and have a pest control company handle the situation as soon as possible.

Emergency First Aid for Bee Sting

The bee’s tail has a hard stinger that is connected to its venom gland inside the body. When we are stung by a bee, the venom flows into our body through the stinger, causing the affected area to become swollen, hot, and painful. Sometimes, it can also cause poisoning symptoms such as dizziness, fever, wheezing, and nausea.

  • To relieve pain and prevent poisoning, the stinger should be removed from the wound.
  • If the wound is on a limb, a rope can be tied tightly above the wound to prevent the venom from flowing elsewhere through the bloodstream.
  • Squeeze the venom out of the wound and apply a concentrated soap or alkali solution to the affected area.
  • Ammonia can be applied to the affected area to relieve pain and swelling.
