"We have seen hornets several times at home in the past few days. My family is afraid of being stung. Can the community take a look at what's going on?" Recently, many residents of Unit 3 and Unit 4, Building 13, Nanlang Home, Dabei Home Community, Jianwai Street, Chaoyang District, asked for help in the community WeChat group, saying that hornet-like insects had appeared in their homes many times, causing trouble to their lives.
After receiving the appeal, community staff and community fire specialists immediately went to residents' homes to check the situation. After visiting, it was found that the insects mainly appeared in the homes of residents on the 4th to 6th floors of Unit 3 and Unit 4 of Building 13. Because the community is an old community with many holes in the building, it is difficult to determine the location of the beehive.

During the visit, some residents mentioned that they found insects in the kitchen and bathroom. The fire specialists judged that the beehive might be hidden in the ventilation duct. Therefore, the community staff contacted the community property to open the roof passage and explore each rooftop ventilation duct. Sure enough, insects were found entering and exiting several ventilation ducts, and a beehive was found in one ventilation duct.
The community staff immediately contacted the Hongmiao Fire Brigade. After on-site analysis, it was determined that the insects found in the resident's home were bees. The firefighters immediately put on heavy professional protective clothing and used insecticides to disinfect the ventilation holes in the building. Subsequently, the community arranged personnel to conduct comprehensive disinfection of the building's ventilation holes several times, completely eliminating the hidden dangers.
"Thanks to the community and firefighters, we feel safe now and are no longer afraid of insect attacks. They explained to us the difference between bees and wasps, and if similar insects appear again, we know how to deal with them." said a resident of Nanlang Home.
Community workers reminded that bees are smaller and gentler than wasps, and if residents find a single bee in their home, they are advised to disinfect it or drive it away by themselves while taking protective measures. If a large number of bees are found, do not dispose of them by yourself without protective measures. Call 119 in time to seek help from professional departments to avoid being stung.
