Hornets are rather dangerous hymenoptera insects that can harm both beekeepers, destroying their workaholic honey plants, and ordinary people. These flyers can cause severe allergic reactions in humans, and multiple bites are sometimes even fatal. That is why, before engaging in the fight against this dangerous swarm, it is worth studying all the precautions and preparing in advance.

Universal methods of getting rid of hornets in the house or on the territory

It is important to know!Hornets are great builders. If you do not notice their presence on the site in time, they are able to erect a gigantic hive, which only professional exterminators can destroy. The larger the insect house, the more room there for offspring and population development.

Noticing in time single individuals that are exploring the area for settlement, you can get rid of many problems and money costs. With several representatives of this species, the simplest baits, which can be made by hand or purchased in a store, will help to cope. They are 100% likely to help remove all hornets.

Plastic bottle trap # 1. All you need to construct the deadly bait is honey, a bottle, and a beer. The bottle is cut in half, beer and honey are poured into the lower part, stirred, covered with the upper part of the bottle, opened with the neck down. The smell will attract victims, getting inside through a wide opening, they will not be able to get out back.

Plastic bottle trap # 2. In an empty plastic bottle, a hole is made on the side, where a special plastic trap is inserted. It is a hole on the outside, curved diverging rays on the inside. The shape of the rays prevents insects from trying to escape. On the other hand, opposite the hole, make several small holes for ventilation and better odor spreading in all directions. Sweet drinks are poured into the finished bait.

Note! If there is an apiary not far from the location of the traps, then it is better to refrain from using them or replace honey with kvass, sour syrup, compote and similar sweet liquids. This will reduce casualties among the hardworking bees, who are very attracted to the sweet smell of nectar.

Glass jar trap (great for getting rid of uninvited guests in the apartment). Prepare a jar with a thread for screwing the lid. Sweet, fermented drinks or juices are poured into it. Holes are made in the lid itself, turning the sharp edges downward, thus blocking the possibility of escape. They screw up the jar with a lid and expect to catch dangerous bugs.

It is important to know! To make the traps more productive, insecticides are often added to sugary drinks. This helps to exterminate annoying flyers.

Those who do not have time to make baits with their own hands buy ready-made products from well-known manufacturers. To use them, you just need to add water and place it in the right place, out of the reach of children.

The question remains: how to get rid of hornets under the roof of a house when they have already begun to build a nest? If the size of the newly formed nest does not exceed the size of a walnut, the formation is knocked down with an ordinary stick and after that it can already be removed or burned. The main condition for safety is working in the dark or twilight, when hornets are most vulnerable. It is also good to remove traces of their stay in winter or late autumn.

It is important to know! If the dwelling has grown a lot, this option will not help and will be very unsafe.

Nests can grow to enormous sizes, and the larger they are, the more difficult it is to clean and dispose of their inhabitants. The specifics depend on their location.

The universal and least dangerous method for removing the socket is to use polyurethane foam. It can be used both outdoors and indoors. All visible holes of the hornet house through which they can crawl are filled with foam. The main thing is not to leave them the opportunity to get out. A plugged socket is cut in any convenient way and discarded or incinerated.

If an insect dwelling is found in the ground, the burrow is flooded with any combustible substances and set on fire. The fire completely destroys all traces of their presence on the site. It is also practiced to burn out hornets with welding or a soldering iron from the ground, after which the nest is ruined. Another solution for cleaning the land can be any insecticide against hornets. In the dark, they spray the hole with poison and cover it with something heavy so that no one can fly away. After a day, the nest can be dug up and destroyed with any of the above options.

Note!When a swarm has established a dwelling for itself on the branches of a tree or in a hollow, it is strictly forbidden to burn it or burn everything on the spot. This will not give any result, moreover, there will be a real threat to health, which will come from angry insects.

For a nest in a hollow, it is best to use dichlorvos in a duet with polyurethane foam or plaster. In the hole where hornets live, the contents of one or two cans of poison are sprayed. After injection, the hole is closed in a convenient way. In the future, the remains can either be left inside or removed, followed by destruction.

With the "tree house" will help to cope: chemicals, a ladder, scissors or knife, a garbage bag (it is better to take the largest size and density) and a good friend, or even two. The algorithm of actions is as follows. On the ground, right under the insect nest, a garbage bag unfolds. One person carefully cuts off the socket attachment so that it falls straight into the bag. The rest - inject hornet poison into the bag with the fallen house and quickly tie it up so that the insects do not get out. Further - the package is thrown away or burned.
