Brushes and combs should be washed with hot, soapy water if they have come in contact with head lice. John Harrell, University of Georgia College of Agricultural and environmental Sciences, reporting from Tifton. During the fall many people have painful encounters with some stinging insects. During early fall yellow jacket numbers are quite high across the state. These insects build their nests in underground cavities, and old stumps.
Many people receive painful stings when they stumble across a nest.
Keith Delaplane, an entomologist with the University of Georgia Extension Service says one reason yellow jackets are more aggressive in the fall is they are stressed out. And they're all scrambling for food, so for one thing they're stressed, they're looking for diminishing resources of food. Keith Delaplane with the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. If yellow jackets fly into your fall picnic or tailgate party, remain calm and don't swat at these stinging insects. Remain calm and the chances are extremely small you will get stung.
