Hornet remedy

Hornets are large paper insects. They are so called because of the nests they make from recycled tree bark. There are more than 20 subspecies of hornets in the world. These Hymenoptera are quite aggressive and can be very dangerous near them.

They pose the least danger in the predawn hours, but in spring this rule does not work. After winter, they devote all their strength to building a nest and breeding. Everyone who is nearby is perceived as enemies and can easily attack. Therefore, you should not touch them, trying to drive them out of their homes, but it is better to use a special hornet repellent.

How to scare off hornets

How and how to scare away hornets? Hornets can be exterminated or driven out. For this, mechanical methods or chemical treatment are used. It is recommended to carry out work in the dark: the activity of insects at night and in the evening is low. Before you poison the hornets, you must definitely take protective measures.

Physical methods (or mechanical)

The most effective and popular methods:

• Bait.They include water and something sweet: syrup, sugar, honey, jam, and so on. Insects, attracted by the smell of the sweet, will fly into the bait dish. If there was no goal to kill hornets, then they can be taken out (in a closed bait) away from home and left. If destruction was supposed, then poison is added to the bait. You just need to make sure that there is no access to the trap for children and pets.
• The fire. To destroy the nest with insects, it is set on fire. There is a danger of starting a fire with this method.
• Smoke. A lit smoke bomb is what scares off hornets for a long time. The method is suitable for removing insects from enclosed spaces. After the inhabitants are driven out, the nest should be destroyed.
• Vacuum cleaner. Intruders cannot resist the suction power of the vacuum cleaner, and once they get inside they lose their orientation. All that remains is to take them out and shake them out of the dust collector.

Use of chemistry

Dichlorvos from wasps and hornets

This remedy for wasps and hornets has been known for a long time. In the middle of the last century, they did not think about how to poison hornets: Dichlorvos was almost the only remedy not only against wasps, but in general against all household pests.

Unlike the old Dichlorvos (work at the expense of organophosphorus), the new modifications work on the basis of pyrethroids.

Due to the great demand, the drug is produced by many manufacturers. The most popular brands are Varan and Neo. The active ingredients in all variants of Dichlorvos from hornets are the same: tetramethrin, cypermethrin, piperonyl butoxide. Products differ only in packaging and flavor.

Dichlorvos acts on the insect's nervous system. There is an imbalance in the interaction of its organs. A few seconds after contact with a toxic drug (through the gastrointestinal tract, through the respiratory tract), the hornet dies.

The best sprays for killing wasps and hornets

There are several sprays that are firmly entrenched in the ranking of the best hornets and wasps.

Hornet spray GET

The active ingredient is chlorpyrifos. Safe - approved for use in childcare facilities. The effect of one treatment lasts up to six months. Works purely for destruction. One individual, carrying a particle of spray, can infect all inhabitants of the nest, including the larvae.

Spray Medilis-Super

This is an insecticidal acaricidal preparation with the active ingredient fenthion. Designed for pests such as fleas, bed bugs, lice; flies, mosquitoes; ants, cockroaches; wasps, hornets.

To kill insects, the solution is sprayed over their habitats. The product has a strong odor, so it is recommended to leave the room for several hours.

Folk methods in the fight against insects

How to poison hornets with folk remedies? For example, you can try drowning your nest in water. To do this, at night, a bucket of water is carefully put on the nest from below until it is immersed in the liquid. But there is a high probability of an attack by hornets that managed to fly out before the nest is completely submerged.

You can also poison wasps and hornets with a tincture of a poisonous mushroom-fly agaric. Only the effect of these methods is low, so it is better to fight insects with chemicals. Moreover, almost all of these funds are considered safe for humans.

It must be remembered that a person may have an individual intolerance, therefore it is imperative to adhere to the recommendations on the drug packaging. In difficult situations - a huge nest, a hard-to-reach place for processing, fear of developing an allergic reaction - it is better to contact a professional who is engaged in the extermination of insects.
