What are Asian hornets and why are they dangerous?
Asian hornets are an invasive exotic species. They are dangerous for two reasons: they are very territorial, meaning that if you come near a nest or disturb the nest, they attack en masse. These attacks can seriously injure or even kill someone. Fortunately, this does not happen often, but it does happen. In addition, they are dangerous because they threaten biodiversity. They are opportunistic hunters who eat almost anything they come across. As beekeepers, we see the hornets at the hive and spot them, but it is really not the case that they just raid bee colonies and then eat all the bees. It has already been proven that a hornet's nest, for example, hanging in a nature reserve, they eat the animals and insects that live there, or, for example, at a cow farm, they prey much more on flies, or in a field, solitary bees.
How do you control the Asian horned beetle?
The best way to control the Asian hornet is to catch the queens in early spring, usually from April to May in the Netherlands, in southern countries this can be as early as March or earlier. After all, if you catch the queen then the population is doomed. If the queens stop flying, the only thing left to do is to locate the nests and have them exterminated.
What products can you use for this purpose?
For catching queens, it is best to use selective traps. These let all insects that are smaller escape, and only the horned queens remain trapped. Any larger animals, such as large moths or the European horned queens, you can release again.
How do the traps work?
In the trap, one places a lure, for example Trappit or Vespacatch lure. This lures the Asian hornet queens or the hornets themselves. Asian hornet traps work very simply: using a trap spout, the hornets fly in, but then cannot get out. They are attracted by the lure.
How do you install or place Asian hornet traps?
You install the traps all around the house or bee stand. You check these preferably every day for Asian horned queen bees and the others, releasing the others. Depending on the type of trap you will put one away under a canopy and the others places. Luxury traps are waterproof, so you can put those anywhere in the garden. Other traps you hang up. There is a large assortment of different traps, for example look at this Deluxe trap or this simple VespaCatch trap.
How do lures work?
Attractants contain products that attract hornets. This scent is irresistible to them, and they will forage on it, but once inside, they cannot get out of the trap and are trapped. Often decoys are formulated so that, for example, honeybees or other animals do not immediately gravitate to them. Of course, they try to be as selective as possible and attract precisely the hornets.
