Brilio.net - The presence of wasps in the house is often a problem because some types have dangerous poison and can sting. Wasp stings can cause reactions such as pain, swelling, and allergies.
The presence of wasps in the house is often followed by the formation of nests in the roof area or around the tiles. These nests become a breeding ground for wasps, which actually endangers the occupants of the house.
Unlike honeybees, wasp nests are usually made of dead wood shavings with a gray or light brown color. The shape tends to be round like a light bulb. If the nest has been identified, it is best to eradicate it immediately before the wasps multiply.
There are various ways to eradicate wasp nests, one of which is as shared by YouTube user Clink Channel. In one of the videos uploaded, it is shown how a wasp nest can be removed using kitchen ingredients. This method is not only effective in removing the nest from the roof of the house, but is also safer because it reduces the risk of wasp stings.
As reported by brilio.net from YouTube Clink Channel on Saturday (8/3), the kitchen material used is dishwashing soap. In the video, he also uses water to dissolve the dishwashing soap. As for the tools, just prepare a spray bottle and a small basin.

First, prepare a small basin and fill it with enough water. Then pour dish soap into the basin. After that, stir until all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
"If you use this dishwashing soap, there is less foam. So it is easier for us to spray it," said YouTube Clink Channel.

Once mixed well, put the liquid into a spray bottle. Then spray this liquid directly into the wasp nest. When sprayed, the wasps in the nest will come out. If a wasp falls, immediately spray it with the dish soap until it dies.

After spraying, the nest will be empty. You can take the nest using a knife or by picking it directly with your hands. That way, wasps will not come and nest again in the house.

how to treat swollen skin due to wasp stings.1. Remove the stinger immediately.
If the wasp stinger is still stuck in the skin, remove it immediately using tweezers or your fingernails. Avoid pressing the stinger too hard so that the poison does not enter the body further.
2. Wash with soap and water.
Clean the stung area using running water and soap to remove any remaining venom that may still be attached.
3. Compress with ice cubes.
Wrap ice cubes in a clean cloth and apply to the swollen area for 1015 minutes. Cold compresses can help reduce inflammation and pain.

Honey and aloe vera gel have anti-inflammatory properties that can help relieve swelling and itching from wasp stings.
5. Use baking soda or apple cider vinegar.
Mix baking soda with a little water to form a paste, then apply to the stung area. Apple cider vinegar can also be used directly on the skin to help neutralize the sting's venom.
6. Take antihistamines or pain relievers.
If the swelling is severe or very itchy, take an antihistamine such as cetirizine or loratadine. If there is pain, paracetamol or ibuprofen can help reduce it.
7. See a doctor immediately if symptoms get worse.
If you experience a serious allergic reaction such as shortness of breath, dizziness, or swelling in other areas, seek immediate medical attention as this could be a sign of a dangerous anaphylactic reaction.
