Are you scared of wasps? We have good reason to be. If a wasp decides to sting you, you’ll be in a lot of pain, and will swell up. I got stung by a wasp once when I was younger, on the side of my face (I tried to swat it away) and though it wasn’t pleasant, I’m glad it happened because now I know a few ways to avoid being stung by a wasp again. Anyone who has been stung by a wasp in the past will tell you that it is one of the most painful things they have ever experienced. Of course, you don’t want to repeat the experience again and again, which is why we took the time to go through many search results (aka Google) to create a list of ways to reduce the risk of getting stung. Don’t get stung by a wasp…or if you do, try these wasp sting treatments ASAP. It’s hard to believe but stings from honey bees and yellow jackets cause more deaths in the United States than any other type of venomous animal. Whether you are a rancher or an urban dweller, it seems likely that at some point you will be stung by a wasp. Learning how to avoid getting stung by a wasp is integral to learning how to survive an encounter with one of these pesky insects. Wasps annoy and fear most people because of their venom. But you don’t have to be one of them. In fact, there are many ways you can avoid getting stung by a wasp (except for staying out of reach).

How To Prevent A Wasp Sting

Learn to identify different types of wasps.

Wasp stings are more painful than bee stings. Wasps are also more aggressive and will attack when they feel threatened, whereas bees tend to only sting if you get too close to their hive or provoke them. If you’re ever unsure of what type of insect is flying around your window, learn how to identify wasps based on their body length and stinger length. Wasp bodies are longer than those of bees, and their stingers are usually longer as well (sometimes over an inch in length). Bees have a barbed stinger that helps them remove it from the skin after they’ve been disturbed; wasps do not have this feature on their stingers, which means they can remain attached even after injecting venom into your skin!

Keep your food covered when you’re outside.

While most wasps are harmless, you should take precautions if you see a nest in your yard or on your property.

• You can also prevent getting stung by keeping food covered when you’re outside. Wasps are attracted to sweet smells and anything that resembles other wasps (for example, blue drinks).

Don’t eat sweet smelling foods or drinks outdoors.

You may not have realized it, but wasps are attracted to sweet smelling foods and drinks. They’re also attracted to the sweet smells of people, pets and flowers. You can make yourself less appealing by not eating or drinking anything sweet when you’re outdoors. If you need a drink, try something with an unsweetened flavor like water or tea (if you must!). This will help keep away the wasps.

If that’s not an option for some reason, consider wearing a long-sleeved shirt that covers your arms and legs so that there’s little chance of exposing skin that might attract insects nearby.

Keep a lookout for wasps’ nests.

If you do encounter a wasp nest, take the following steps:

• If you see a paper-like nest built in trees, shrubs and other vegetation, be aware that there are likely to be hundreds of wasps inside it.
• Look for insects buzzing around the structure of the nest. This is an indication that there may be an active colony present.
• If possible, avoid walking near any location where you believe there could be a wasp’s nest or colony because this can cause them to become aggressive and attack anyone who comes near them.
• If it appears your home has been infested with stinging insects like bees or yellow jackets, call pest control immediately!

Avoid wearing bright colors when you’re outside.

• Wasp are attracted to bright colors.
• They are also attracted to things that resemble other wasps, such as a bright yellow jacket or polo shirt.
• They’re also attracted to sweet smells and shiny objects (like your car), as well as things that are moving (you).

Wasps are attracted to things that resemble other wasps, so learn to recognize their behavior and avoid it.

To prevent a wasp sting, you have to learn how they act. Wasps are attracted to things that resemble other wasps—so if you’re wearing bright colors or your sweat smells like fruit, they may get the wrong idea and start thinking that you’re one of their own.

If you want to avoid being stung by a bee or wasp, here are some tips:

• Avoid sweet-smelling foods and drinks. Wasps love sugar (as do most insects) so don’t eat anything sugary when outside in the summertime.
• Don’t wear neon clothing outside unless it’s completely necessary—and even then wear dark pants/trousers over your light-coloured legs if possible because black is a color that won’t attract as many insects compared with lighter shades like white and yellow.
• Don’t leave food out in the open where it can attract these kinds of pests; keep all trash cans closed tightly so nothing gets inside–and if possible don’t leave any food lying around while camping either!
