Probably a professional exterminator is what I’d do.

I’m sensitive to insect stings and while so far no anaphylaxis, I react badly enough to do what I can to avoid them, and that would include getting them eradicated more professionally than mr. mm could do.

What metmom said. Hire a professional for this situation. There are times when a professional is needed, and I don’t think you want to take a chance on anaphylaxis. It can happen before you know it. Nothing to play games with.

I never used to be allergic to bees or wasps, or any insects. Just every kind of pollen and mold.

A couple of years ago, I got stung by a couple of yellow jackets. Sounds like what you went through today. Within a couple of weeks, I got stung just one more time. That time I wasn’t so lucky. My arm swelled up the entire length of it. Red, hot, horribly painful. ER doctor gave me a cortisone shot, and antibiotics. It helped, but I’ve had to have an epipen ever since. I’m VERY CAREFUL around bees, wasps, and yellow jackets now.
