What to do if there are wasps at home

In life, there are hornets' nests near many families. These hornets' nests have actually become a hidden danger for the villagers. Many families have children, and children are particularly curious about hornets, so being stung by hornets is inevitable sometimes. At this time, parents may be anxious and afraid, and don’t know how to relieve their children’s pain. So what should you do if there are hornets at home?

Treatment method:

(1) If residents discover wasps in their homes, they should check the corners inside and outside the house, as these are likely where wasps have built nests.

(2) If you find a hornet's nest, you should prepare a bottle of insecticide such as Mierol to prevent hornet attacks.

(3) It is best to wear light-colored, smooth clothing, because bees’ visual systems are very sensitive to light colors and they will not attack easily.

(4) If you find a beehive, be sure to seek help from a professional or call 119 to report it.

First aid measures:

(1) If you are stung by a hornet, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. If you are far away from a hospital, you can take emergency measures and use a needle or tweezers to pick out the stinger, but never squeeze the wound to prevent residual toxins from entering the body.

(2) After picking out the stinger, you can apply ammonia, soda water or even urine to the stung area to neutralize the toxicity.

(3) If the pain is severe, you can take analgesics such as Baifuning and soak a towel with cold water or wrap ice cubes in a towel and apply it to the injured area to reduce swelling and pain.

(4) If the situation is serious, seek medical treatment promptly.

Here are a few reminders:

1. Fumigation with drugs Spring is an important period for hornets to start building nests. It is important to seize the favorable opportunity when there are only a small number of overwintering bees (each bee builds one nest) and the "gourd bags" are still small. Surveys should be conducted around towns, both ends of roads, recreational forests, mountain trails and other areas to promptly discover nesting activities. During the small nest period, the small nests should be removed and destroyed, or cloth strips or towels dipped in pesticides should be hung on the small nests for fumigation.

2. To remove the nest at the right time, first spray the hive exit and the bee colonies outside the nest with insecticide, then cover the hive with a woven bag, quickly tie the bag mouth, and then remove the hive. Throw the bag into water or pour gasoline on it and burn it. The nest should be removed at night or on rainy days. (Guilin Fire Command staff suggested that it is best to do it at night, because wasps are night blind and cannot see at night)

3. Use a high-pressure water gun to remove bees and fire to attack beehives built at high places that are difficult for people to reach. Aim at the beehive with a high-pressure water gun and spray it violently, and the wasps will break the nest. You can also tie waste cotton soaked in fuel oil on one end of a long bamboo pole, light it, and then extend it to the beehive to burn it. The surrounding people need to be evacuated in advance and pay attention to fire prevention.
