Here in California, we only have manslaughter hornets.

I’m not sure which worse here in Washington, the murder hornets or the heroin addict hornets.

I wonder how big the Murder Hornet stimulus check will be.

This is perhaps the only instance I favor a gene drive being introduced into a population, eventually leading only to the production of males.

In any case, the department is interested in tracking the insects, and Spichiger advises: "If you have paper wasp nests on your property and live in the area, keep an eye on them and report any Asian giant hornets you see. Note the direction they fly off to as well."

I don't care who wants to track these bugs, wasp spray works really well. Keep spraying until there is nothing left alive.

I hope the governor of Washington gets stung by one of those hornets.

I had to take down two hornet nests today. The one’s with the dangly legs.

Starting fluid (ether), works good to kill, or at least stun hornets. If stunned, a little gasoline will finish them off.

Yeah - back when logging, that was one of my favorites. When felling timber, if encounter a nest in the ground, a bit of a slosh of saw gas would quiet them down. Can’t count how many times I was stung while felling or bucking. I don’t miss the bees.

So, these things are black and carry handguns?
