Caterpillars are an insect that even tiny tots know something about. From the time we are little, we talk about how cute the furry little caterpillars are. In fact, many kids love to play with the caterpillars or catch them and watch them turn into butterflies. However, playing with puss caterpillars simply isn’t a good idea. In fact, if you talk to professional pest control companies or doctors, they will highly advise you not to handle these caterpillars. They are actually poisonous. In fact, they are covered in venom. As soon as someone touches the puss caterpillar, intense and instant pain is felt. The pain is said to be worse than that of a bee, jellyfish or scorpion sting. Some people have even experienced convulsions and vomiting from touching these pests.
The puss caterpillars can be found in trees and on the ground. In fact, they have been known to fall out of trees. So, it is important to be vigilant while working and playing outdoors.
Of course being vigilant will help you to avoid these crazy pests. But, what more can you do to keep yourself and your family safe from the puss caterpillars? You could go to the hardware store and find some generic pest control spray. However, this is probably not a good idea because it might not be the right chemicals to get rid of these caterpillars. Further, the chemicals you use could be harmful to you, your family or your pets. Rather, a better solution would be to contact Slug-A-Bug to help you get rid of the puss caterpillars.
