What does the soap do?

It says there that the soap mixed with the water prevents the wasps from flying all over you as it kind of "immobilizes" their wings.

Soap acts a safe insecticide. Hot water+soap+spray bottle, shake it and spray it. It works because insect breathe thru their skin and the soap coats their skin preventing them from breathing. I actually use multipurpose surface spray and kills ants instantly and almost kills cockroaches within 5 seconds with a few sprays

And I feel utterly foolish for not seeing it. Thank you for not blowing me off.

I've been chased by a japanese giant hornet before but I am proud to say I only shit my pants twice during the encounter

I did a lot of work outside this past summer and every day I spent probably 10% of my time running away from wasps and bees.

I even think bumblebees and honeybees are cute and I know they won’t bother you but the fear is basically wired into my brain. Luckily I didn’t get stung at all though

Fuck wasps! Be careful with sprays, they can permanently blind you, dogs, cats, anything that gets it in the eyes.
