Brilio.net - Ants are animals that often appear in several corners of the house, one of which is the kitchen. Usually ants will surround sweet foods. But not only in the kitchen, ants also often appear on the walls and ceramics of the house. The large number sometimes disturbs the occupants of the house.
If not immediately eradicated, these ants will increase in number and can build nests in the house. This can also disturb the comfort of the occupants of the house because ants can get into their clothes and bite their hands. So, to prevent this, quite a few people choose to eradicate it by relying on camphor.
However, this method is not always effective so the ants can still potentially appear again. So, apart from using camphor, you can also imitate a trick shared by a netizen via the IDE CHANNEL YouTube account. In one of his video uploads, he admitted that he had a special trick that was effective for getting rid of ants by adding 1 kitchen ingredient.

"We wait a moment, approximately five minutes, until the detergent and salt are completely dissolved," said the YouTube user.
After letting it sit for 5 minutes, pour the anticide solution into a spray bottle. This solution can then be used to get rid of ants in the house.
"We just spray it on our house where there are lots of ants," he added.

The YouTube user immediately used the solution to eradicate the ant nest in his yard. Apart from the yard, you can also spray the solution in several corners of the house where ants often pass.
"So we just spray this liquid so it doesn't bite passers-by," he explained.

How about it, this trick is quite easy and practical, right? Since it was uploaded in February 2024, the video has been watched 18 thousand times, you know.
Tricks for dealing with itchy hands caused by ant bites.
To overcome the itching caused by ant bites, there are several steps you can try:
1. Clean skin.
Immediately clean the bitten area with water and soap to remove any residue or remaining poison that may still be stuck to the skin.
2. Use ice cubes.
Place ice cubes or an ice bag wrapped in a thin cloth on the bitten area for a few minutes. This can help relieve itching and reduce swelling.
3. Use aloe vera gel.
Apply aloe vera gel to the bitten area. Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties that can help relieve itching and inflammation.
4. Peppermint oil or tea tree oil.
Apply a little peppermint oil or tea tree oil to the bitten area. Both have antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce itching and irritation.
5. Baking soda.
Mix a little baking soda with water to form a paste and apply it to the bitten area. Baking soda has antiseptic properties and can help relieve itching and reduce inflammation.
6. Warm water compress.
Use a warm compress with a clean cloth or towel dampened with warm water. This compress can help relieve itching and increase blood flow to the bitten area.
7. Anti-itch medication.
If the itching still feels very annoying, you can also use cream or lotion containing antihistamines or corticosteroids to relieve itching and inflammation.
8. Avoid scratching.
Even though it feels itchy, avoid scratching the bitten area as this can cause infection and make the irritation worse.
