I jump in fear when a wasp flies by, so my trick has changed the game for tanning in my backyard – it works on spiders too

A tanning lover who was being bothered by all the pests in her yard has found a revolutionary trick to make her glow glow in peace.

Your cheap tip was super easy and even worked on other unwanted bugs.

bye bye insects

In a now-viral TikTok video, Ester Motza (@estermotza) shared how she “jumps in fear when a wasp flies” but discovered the ultimate “gamechanger.”

If you also want to tan without being invaded by insects, she has a trick for that: eucalyptus soap.

She demonstrated how she scrubs her sun lounger with her purchase.

After the surface was covered in soap, she washed it all off with a garden hose.

Now it was goodbye, bugs, as she explained that wasps and spiders are not fans of the smell.

SMELL YES

Hurry up and buy your own bottle of Garrison Eucalyptus Household Hand Soap for just $4.98 at Lowe’s.

With a keen sense of smell, which is how they find food, wasps actually stay away from smells they don’t like, according to Eco Guard Pest Management.

Experts explained that insects will avoid wasp-repellent herbs and plants, including eucalyptus, lemongrass, peppermint, cloves and bay leaves.

Wasps are also sensitive to marigolds, geraniums and pennyroyals.

For extra protection, they suggested planting these varieties near doors and windows.

You can also make your own essential oil blends.

Simply mix lemongrass and geranium essential oils, dilute them in water and shake.

Many people were grateful for her bug-proof tanning tips.

“As someone who was harassed by a wasp while laying down today, thank you,” one user wrote.

“Possibly the most important information I learned,” agreed another.

“OMG now I can get a tan without running,” added one viewer.

“Wash the entire outside [the] house with eucalyptus soap”, joked one observer.

Others still had some tips to share.

“I take Irish Spring Soap and rub it all over the deck and everywhere we go. They hate it!” said one spectator.

“That or peppermint! I regularly line my windows with peppermint to keep spiders away and it works haha,” another chimed in.
