4 When outdoors, always wear shoes and, if possible, a long-sleeved
shirt, long pants, or other protective clothing. Don’t wear clothing
with a bright floral print or loose-fitting clothing in which stinging
insects may be trapped.
5 Don’t make rapid movements around stinging insects or intentionally
disturb either the insects or their nests.
6 Eliminate all Hymenoptera nests around inhabited areas (wild honey
bee colonies may be removed by a local beekeeper). When necessary, an
insecticide such as 5% carbaryl dust may be applied in a nesting area
within a building to eliminate the nuisance colony.
