Question

A couple of months ago we had bees in the house and we killed like 9 of them then we didnt find no more bees. But my son found a bee yesturday in his room. What can they do to you oh and the bee is a yellow jack so anyone please please help!

Answer 1

Live and let live, man. Peace.

Answer 2

we had the same problem adn they were coming in through our shower vents.

call a bug company to see if there is a way they can prevent them from coming in.

they come in mostly during the summer to avoid the heat, and eventually die in your house....really gross lol.

Answer 3

Yellow jackets are wasps.

Either hire a bug guy to come and kill the nest or do it yourself AT NIGHT when they aren't flying around.

I find WD-40 kills them off fast.  

I have wasps around my home but I don't kill them, they are part of my backyard eco-system! =]

Answer 4

well yellowjacket will sting (not bite) you when you too close to make them threating, but when you leave them, they will get bored and leave... but go to your neighbor (if you have 1) and find a brave small kid to crawl in your vents, some bees will make hive in the vents so if the small kid say yes there are a hive, then call the bee keeper (cause bee killer will kill them and let them die on the floor and leave and let you clean it, you don't want that) to get them out to their bee farm...

yellowjacket freak me sometime, but when they sting (not bite) you, you won't die... well if you allertric (i don't know how to spell) then you will get killed unless you go to the hospital asap

hope my brains help

Answer 5

Are you sure you're not talking about wasps? Anyway, it sounds like whatever bees that were there have moved on and this one just got in the house through a window or something. If it's a bee, then they can sting you. Wasps can bite and sting you. Most stings are completely harmless. However, (don't freak) if you are allergic then you can die from a sting. I'm not sure how you would find out or not. You can also die if an entire hive attacks you and stings you multiple times but this is incredibly rare.

(I wouldn't worry too much).

Answer 6

Yellow jackets are wasps, so only the female one's can sting. If you are not allergic to wasp venom then it probably isn't much to worry about because yellow jacket stings aren't very painful to begin with and they are not very hostile either.

If there are a large number getting in your house and you can't find the source of them, then call an exterminator. Also remember that wasps help with population control of other pest bugs around your home and are good to have around. Good luck.

Answer 7

Yellow Jackets are a wasp, not a bee. Bees sting only once, while wasps can sting you over and over. Although wasps can bite, they generally sting, and for some people this can be deadly. (allergies) If stung, check for reaction such as trouble breathing or the glands under your chin begin to swell. Seek emergency help then.

As for the wasps themselves, they pretty much die off in the fall except for the queen. Their nests are located under ground. Some species of wasps have paper nests or mud nests hanging around your house or in a tree somewhere. Once located, there are insect killer sprays you can use from a distance as far as 30 feet.

Wasps kept entering my house, and my husband found the nests around the house outside.

Answer 8

yellow jackets are not bees

bees have very small mouths, they do not bite people

Answer 9

If you are willing to wait you should be able to find where they are entering your house.  The best time to watch for them is around sunset when they are all going home for the night.   Most houses have small holes under the eves, especially if you have exposed rafters.  Also check around chimneys. If the wasps are entering there should be marks around the hole where they land.   If you find the hole just plug it up with grout.  Do it at night when they are still.  You may want someone to go into the attic to check for wasp nests.  Again after dark is best.

There are insect spray that shoot 10 or more feet to hit nests in the eves without you getting close.  These sprays do not work well on individual wasps, especially if you are afraid of them.
