An unprecedented wasp invasion is coming to the country: it can be life-threatening

Compared to the last 2-3 years, the heat came almost 3 weeks earlier, and the strong and persistent heatwave also accelerated fruit ripening, which favored the wasps, said the For the agricultural sector Tamás Kovács, managing director of Nova-Tox Profi Kft.

According to the expert, it is feared that the wasps could multiply massively because of this, and their quantity can even reach a critical level.

A permanent wasp invasion may also occur

As the paper wrote, Tamás Kovács believes that if this warming and premature persistent heat will be the norm from now on, the appearance of wasps in greater numbers should also be expected. Due to the mild winter more fertilized queens can overwinter, and since the spring warm-up starts earlier, dangerous insects can multiply faster.

The wasps have already caused a serious nuisance in a trans-Danubian city. As we reported, A very popular promenade in Tata had to be closed because of their presence, as they attacked several people en masse during the past week.

Tata horse wasps have been exterminated on the shores of Lake Cseke since yesterday, and residents are trying to warn about the dangerous situation via social media.

The wasp is a dangerous insect both in front and behind

Although the vernacular refers to the bite of a wasp in contrast to a bee sting, it is worth knowing that it is the insect it can not only bite, but it can also sting. The wasp can bite us with its mouthparts, which can even spread diseases, but this involves the introduction of much less toxins than if it stung. A wasp sting is less painful, the swelling is smaller, and the pain goes away sooner than in the case of a sting. In the rear half of the animal lies a retractable stinger with which it can stab. This goes beyond itching and pain, it is life-threatening an allergic reaction may occur because of it. Since the stinger can be retracted, the wasp can sting again and again for the rest of its life.
