"Murder Hornet" rifles?

[Buldawg76]

That spray glue better have a stream the size of what a fire truck hose puts out if you expect to trap every single hornet before they get to you. Just saying a dinky spray paint size can of contact cement aint gone to cut against these 2 inch long monsters.

Again, wasp & hornet spray. They call it "Wasp & Hornet" spray for a good reason. The trick is to use it at night when they are all in the nest.
Plus, you can kill the entire nest with no problem & not set your house, your neighbors house, field, forest, or even yourself on fire.

You're no fun at all, Dave!

Considering how dangerous the  Murder Hornet is to humans and bees, and considering that a successful invasion will  seriously damage agriculture, the goal must be to wipe them out
I suggest contacting your local Agriculture Extension Service (or similar)immediately upon discovering the nest.
They will not only eradicate the nest.
They will also add your nest info to their tracking data base;
An important step in controlling the invasion

Keep a few to deep fry.
The Japanese love them, so I've read

The gas in a bottle trick is not set on fire but rather the gas is allowed to evaporate in the hole in the ground so the fumes kill the entire nest queen and all.

As for our current brands/cans of wasp/hornet spray I highly doubt it was intended for use on these HUGE Asian hornets and even with a can in both hands I would not feel safe trying to eliminate a nest of them, if swarmed by them and you get stung by several of them you will die.

If I was still living in the only house in 110 square miles, if killing them for sport, I would use a Texan carbine with a 20 gauge barrel shooting an ounce of #12 shot if there are no unintended targets around to get hit while your running and shooting over your shoulder, sort of a “Bug-A-Blackhole gun.

Barring that the gas in the bottle trick.

I hope you are a fast marathon runner or I bet you will wear out before the hornets chasing you do. I believe I would need a 12ga shotgun semi auto with a 50 round drum magazine to even consider taking on these deadly insects and would still not feel safe. Anyone make a 50 cal BMG shotgun with a 1000 round belt fed since you might stand a chance with one of them or a gatlin gun with shotgun rounds.

Bees, wasps, yellow jackets & hornets have no resistance to insecticides like cockroaches do. They also don’t fly at night which is why I said do it at night. The trick is to put a light shining on the nest away from yourself so if any escape the spray they will head towards the light. They are attracted to light. Then while they’re trying to kill the flashlight you spray them down.
How do I know this? Because I used to capture live bee, wasps, and hornet for a pharmaceutical company that made antitoxin.

Good FYI!
Thank you!

Personally, I am of the mind set the state and Feds find them all and then,

Makes more sense when you expanded on the entire process, But it has been posted here as well that these hornets are much more aggressive and have some ability to see in the dark possibly so just as with the CV19 until more is known about their habits and abilities to me I will stick to what I know works and trap them in their homes after careful observation to insure all exit/entrances are blocked.  Better safe than sorry. The wife is allergic to bee stings so can not afford to take any chances, or just call my bug buddy and get a few cans of the instant freeze spray since I have seen it in action. No escape from it period.

Netflix has a documentary that covers them. I can't remember the name of the show, but it covers a bunch of deadly creepy crawlies. Do you all remember the big scare and hype about the killer bees? Now there is very little said about them except in local news reports along the southern border.

[Lani52]

I doubt most of us will ever see one.

Roachcreek

[HunterWhite]

Could you just use a insect bomb with a short hose to direct the spray down into the nest?
I've tried this before with good result, but not on Japanese Hornets.

Yeah, I remember the 70's just a little bit.   

News reports and movies, documentaries and magazine articles, the killer bees were coming to kill us all! Of course, they started breeding with the locals as soon as they arrived, had a bunch of kids, got roped into jobs they didn't like, grew fat and tired and soon gave up on the killing lifestyle. Honeybees must be pretty closely related genetically if they could interbreed like that. I wonder if the murder wasps could somehow breed with the big European hornets around here? That would settle them down nicely.

Another important tidbit of knowledge I ran across and probably worth noting: These hornets can fly at up to 25 mph.

[VaporTrail]

I don't think a single pellet approach is going to work. Just think: one pellet per hornet, how many in the hive vs how many in your clip.  Not only that, but what happens for all those stray shots.

I wouldn't even do an airsoft rifle. I had an TM M4 that was set up with an auto-feeding 2500 BB box mag. I wouldn't even use that.

Maybe those multi-round grenade launchers that spit about 40 bbs per shot. Even at that, youd need at least a dozen just to cover your tactical retreat.

Gas in the ground won't work here...we have two aquifers that provide water. No bueno.

I'd probably invest in thermal to see if there's more than one exit to the nest. Plug up all but one and place a vacuum at the nest entrance and let it run until the motor dies or until all the Hornets have been sucked up.

Then chuck it in the freezer to cool them down and while that's happening, get a wok of oil heated up real nice.

They say they're tasty and I'd sure like to try em out.

Be careful with the shop vac. I was working on a house that had been rented, I discovered a lot of crickets. No problem,  get the sears 10 gallon shop vac. Cleaned them up and went back to painting. . . I started hearing clicking. What is that? Then I realized that the vacuum didn't kill them.
I wouldn't want to open a shop vac full of MURDER HORNETS!

Hunter

[VaporTrail]

Lol...me neither, Hunter. That's why I said I'd chuck the vacuum in the freezer first.

I'd open a vacuum full of murder Hornets....

With a grenade.

[Nvreloader]

I'd back off about 25-30 yards, set up my shooting bench with one of my most accurate AG's,
tethered to a fresh filled SCBA tank, with 1000 + rounds at o dark thirty AM.

Watching the exit hole, and when the first one crawled out, ZAP, next etc etc.
When no more crawled out, I pack up and head home, knowing I had done good.
Come back the next day and see if any more showed up,
if so, set up and have at it again ZAP next etc, etc.

It wouldn't take long and you would have that nest cleaned up, then safety dig up the nest,
and killed the egg stock, and then GPS the exact location etc.

I know, I have more pellets & air, than they have bodies...........

The ultimate hunt..................

Back when I was fire-forming 22-250 Ackley Improved, I could kill &ellow Jackets in the yard with the muzzle blast, I was using a wax plug in front of whatever powder I had to much of to push out the 22-250 shoulders to 22-250 A Improved.  It would evaporate then if shot close up.
