How to deal with hornets, eliminate their nests and not hurt yourself

Hello! About three months ago, I saw one hornet flying in my area.

This is not a situation that should make you worry, but after a couple of days there were already three. Further more. A thorough inspection of my barn led to the discovery of a whole nest.

The situation was starting to look dangerous. Before that, I already had experience of opposing hornets, so I managed to cope with them without any problems. Want to learn how to deal with hornets? What are the best tools to use? Now I will share with you valuable practical experience.

Ways to deal with hornets

Hornets are the genus of the largest wasps. The length of the hornet uterus is 30-35 mm, males and working individuals have a length of 20 to 25 mm. These are very dangerous insects, the bites of which are more painful for humans than the bites of ordinary wasps or bees.

Hornets feed on the pulp of fruits, the juice of flowers, they do not neglect other insects. If hornets settle, for example, near an apiary, then over the summer they can destroy hundreds of working bees.

They usually equip their voluminous nests in attics, in sheds, under the edge of the roof, in hollows of trees.

You can effectively deal with hornets in the spring, when single females come across in the garden or near a country house. After a large hornet family has started near a house or in an apiary, it becomes much more difficult to deal with them.

You can destroy insects with the help of traps that are made from wide-necked bottles. Pour water sweetened with honey into these containers.

After a day or two, when a large number of hornets will be treated with ground meat, it is necessary to mix arsenic-acid sodium or some other poison in it. It is important that the cat, dog and hens do not have access to the stuffing. Handle poison with extreme caution.

There are methods of struggle involving a “gas” attack, for which dichlorvos or some other insecticide in an aerosol can is used.

Having found the hole from which these insects fly out, spray it, blocking the hornets exit with a strong fabric. It should be prepared in advance. You can fumigate the nests with hornet sulfur, this should be done in the late evening, when insects gather in it for the night.

Arriving home in the morning and finding the destroyed nest, they begin to ruthlessly sting the people they come across.After a bite, individuals of this species of wasps, unlike bees, do not die, which is why they are able to sting repeatedly.

Self-control of hornets or wasps in the garden

Wasps, hornets wound up in your country house, attic, on the balcony. How to destroy wasps and hornets in the home?

As soon as you notice a wasp or a hornet in the immediate vicinity, you, of course, want to immediately protect yourself from their possible bite and you try to leave their habitat as soon as possible.

But what if you find a wasp nest or a hornet's nest on your garden or summer cottage? Here the question already arises you, or they. Of course, I want to immediately eliminate the wasp nest or the hornet's nest, remove from the environment of your habitat the source of the potential threat of painful bites.

Not everyone can, or not everyone wants to use the services of specialized organizations to combat wasps and hornets. Some people decide how to deal with wasps and hornets on their own in the garden, or in the country.

As a rule, spontaneous actions to combat wasps or hornets do not always achieve the desired result. The hasty destruction of wasp nests, or hornets nests, not only does not guarantee their complete disappearance from the territory of interest to you, but can also lead to multiple bites that angry wasps and hornets can inflict on you and your loved ones.

Before beginning measures to eliminate wasp nests, or hornets nests, you should calmly assess the situation and work out the correct strategy for combating wasps or hornets, if possible, after consulting with specialists in combating these insects.

Acting in a hurry, many are ready to eliminate the nests of wasps or hornets with almost bare hands, without resorting to the use of protective equipment, without conducting preliminary processing using insecticides.

Therefore, in no case should you either approach or touch the nests of wasps and hornets without preliminary insecticidal treatment and without making sure that the adult individuals of these insects are reliably destroyed.

How to deal with wasps and hornets on the site. Today on free sale you can find many means for exterminating insects, including wasps and hornets. Means for the destruction of wasps and hornets in the form of sprays containing acute insecticides, it is desirable to use, as far as possible, at the maximum distance from the nest of wasps, or hornets. But no further than 3 - 4 meters.

The spray is sprayed, creating a poisonous cloud from the insecticide, which, settling, covers all the contact surfaces of the wasps, and the hornet with the nest and what surrounds it. Upon contact with a poisonous, insecticide-containing cloud, or a surface upon which an insecticide donkey, an adult wasp or hornet dies.

The combination of these factors leads to the fact that part of the insect population survives, and the number of aggressive-minded individuals even increases over a certain period of time. This leads to an increase in the likelihood of a wasp or hornet bite.

Another common but ineffective way to fight is to use foam to fight wasps and hornets. Foam covers the places and holes through which wasps and hornets penetrate into the premises where they organize their nests (attics, sheds, other outbuildings).

Firstly, the foaming process itself is a danger.After all, wasps and hornets, at this moment, can bite the person applying the foam. But even after successfully closing a hole or a gap through which wasps and hornets penetrate a room with nests, the success of the event is not guaranteed.

Attempts to combat wasp and hornet nests using fumigation are also ineffective and dangerous, attempts to burn nests (through fire), drown, or knock them down with water pressure.

The main mistakes when trying to independently deal with wasps and hornets:
Lack of experience - an incorrectly chosen fight plan, attempts to spontaneously destroy wasp and hornet nests, incorrect, or ineffective poisoning.

Lack of protective equipment - threatens with multiple bites, and even death.

Lack of necessary preparations for the reliable destruction of the wasp and hornet population - preparations for wasps and hornets that are freely available for sale and available for domestic use have, as a rule, a low concentration of insecticides and cannot reliably destroy the entire population of wasps and hornets.

So, what is the right strategy for fighting wasps and hornets on your own?

1. Before starting events, we evacuate people nearby who are at a safe distance. We use protective equipment to prevent possible bites of wasps and hornets. Using, as far as possible, professional insecticidal preparations, we carry out a thorough treatment of wasp nests and hornets, the spaces surrounding them, places of penetration into the structures inside which insect nests are located.
2. We wait enough time and make sure that the insect population is completely destroyed. Eliminate the empty nests of wasps and hornets. We close holes through which wasps and hornets from other nests can penetrate your room and organize new nests.
3. In the warm season, we monitor the activity of wasps and hornets in your garden or summer cottage, observe their movement and their preferred places. If necessary, we carry out preventive measures aimed at preventing the organization of new nests (treatment with wasps and hornets using attic and utility rooms).

We hope that the above material will help you avoid the main mistakes in the independent struggle with wasps, or hornets in your garden plot, or in the country.

If you decide to use the services of a specialized organization for the professional extermination of wasps and hornets, you should know what the cost of services to combat these insects comes from.

To clarify the cost of destroying wasps or hornets at your facility, contact the unified control room at the telephone number indicated above and our consultants will quickly calculate the cost of destroying wasps, or hornets in your case.

Hornet fighting

Hornets that appeared on the site are a serious danger not only to plants, but also to humans. Affected by a hornet sting, they say that the moment of the bite can be compared in terms of pain with a blow with a sledgehammer.

Many fatal cases are known after a single bite. Hornets pose the greatest danger to children. The hornet is large, some species reach a length of 55mm.

But the hornets do not eat these insects, and in the form of a suspension they feed them to larvae. Particularly dangerous is the proximity of the hornet family with bees. One hornet can destroy an entire hive of bees in a few hours.

The hornet family, like the bee family, has its uterus, which hides in a secluded place, laying eggs. The uterus flies only once, in early spring - in search of food for the foundation of a new colony.

Fighting the hornet uterus is the most effective tool. If you track down and destroy the uterus during its departure, then this can completely stop the appearance of hornets in the area.

Hornets bites are very dangerous for people with allergic reactions. In allergy sufferers, even one bite can cause death. The wasp sting does not remain in the body of the victim (unlike bees), so the hornet is able to sting a person several times. The most dangerous bites for children and the elderly.

The closest proximity to the nest is the greatest danger, since several individuals of insects can attack a person at once. The pain from a hornet bite is compared with a hammer blow. The pain is so severe that it stuns a person and dumps even a healthy adult man in bed for several days.

Any plant that produces good juice can be the food of wasps. Hornets gnaw bark from young shoots of birch trees (pictured), eating their juice, eat apples hanging on a tree, can fly into the house in search of food.

As a rule, flying insects are found in large quantities by the end of summer, when the hornet colony is gaining full strength. It was during this period that the struggle with hornets was the most laborious. It is necessary to destroy as many insects as possible in order to weaken the colony.

Even if you can’t find the nesting site of the hornets, the colony weakens, and the lack of food that they stop getting leads to the death of the colony. For the destruction of hornets, systemic insecticides are used, which are sprayed on plants chosen by insects.

At the time of spraying insecticides, you can not stand on the trajectory of the flight of insects, it is mandatory to use personal protective equipment. The main difficulty in dealing with hornets lies in the fact that it is necessary to choose the right insecticide.

If the drug is not selected correctly, this can lead to the opposite result. Such a fight will only strengthen the colony, which next year may become immune to the entire range of insecticides of this group.

A good result is given by injections of pesticides into the trunk of the trees, which were chosen to feed the hornets. In deciduous trees, the injection spreads through the tree quite quickly.

The great advantage of this technology can be considered that substances hazardous to humans do not enter the environment. Of course, if apple trees are injected against the hornets, then in the current season it will be impossible to eat apples from them.

Wasps and hornets: what is dangerous and how to fight on a personal plot?

Preventive measures against wasps and hornets should be carried out in the spring.

It is difficult to find a person who has never in his life seen a gray “bubble” attached to any surface on a site, around which wasps or hornets fly.

Wasps and hornets build nests not overnight, but over several months. For their future home, they choose dark, cool, secluded places. In private homes and outbuildings, these are attics, cellars, nooks and crannies, which are not very diligent owners.

Using mounting foam or building mixtures, it is necessary to eliminate not only all the gaps through which uninvited guests can climb into the building, but also block the path to hidden cavities that can form under the floor or lining.

In multi-storey buildings, dangerous insects like to build nests between the joints of concrete slabs.

How to eliminate the nest?

On the plot of a resident of Dobrush, hornets wound up. Gradually they made a large nest. The owner wanted to bring him down on his own. He began to knock on the nest - and then a swarm of hundreds of insects rushed to the attack. The man rushed away, but two hornets caught up with him and bit him in the back and head.

The fatal mistake of the deceased was that he began to knock on the nest. The hornets took him as a threat that wants to destroy their home, and went on the offensive ...

Actually, getting rid of a hornet or wasp nest is not so difficult. Firstly, all work must be carried out late in the evening or at night, since after sunset the activity of insects decreases sharply. Up to 700 hornets can live in one cocoon!

Secondly, you need to protect yourself as much as possible in advance. There should not be a single open area of ​​the body, and clothing should be tightly tucked. One or two dense bags are put on the nest, and with a sharp knife or spatula they are quickly separated from the object to which it is attached.

A bag with a deadly cargo must be disposed of immediately - drown or burn, while observing the fire safety rules. But with the use of insecticides like dichlorvos known to everyone indoors, you need to be very careful because they are harmful to humans.

Therefore, before spraying the pesticide, carefully read the instructions. And again, after the elimination of the nest, the preventive measures mentioned above have not been canceled. Who will guarantee that this place will not like another swarm of insects with stings?

However, one must remember the dangers of anaphylactic shock, especially for people with allergies. Many people are also afraid of such insects. Therefore, it is best to entrust the elimination of the dangerous nest to specialists. They will do it safely, quickly, professionally and reliably. By the way, the rescuers work methodology is not significantly different.

To stay alive

But danger can lie in wait not only in tree branches or in the back streets of buildings. Hornets, among other things, can nest in the ground. You can disturb them very simply by accidentally stepping on a nest. In addition, their bite is much more painful than the bite of a wasp or a bee.

In addition, a hornet can sting a person several times. Last year, these insects raged in the Chinese province of Shanxi, where dozens of people died from their bites ... Winged aggressors of victims are also collected in Belarus.

The most important safety rule is to stay away from the nests, - rescuers advise.- Usually, wasps and hornets do not attack first, if they are not provoked, do not touch the "house", do not wave your arms, trying to drive away the insect.

Keep in mind that you cannot escape from them. They fly much faster than you run. In addition, the target for the attack for them is a moving target.

Therefore, if you unexpectedly stumbled upon a nest, slowly move away, do not rush to the hell. In addition, bees and wasps stimulate the smell of cologne. And be sure to explain the danger to the children. For babies, the results of stinging insect bites can be even worse than for adults.

A cold object must be attached to the bite site. If the person is conscious, then give him an antiallergenic drug - suprastin, cetirizine, ketotifen, loratadine. They must be used in case of anaphylactic shock, which poses the greatest danger to humans.

The victim's blood pressure drops sharply, the skin changes color, he is thrown into a cold sweat, convulsions begin, and finally the person loses consciousness. In this case, you must immediately call an ambulance.

If a pulse is felt on the carotid artery, then the bitten one must be turned on its side. And if there is no pulse, cardiopulmonary resuscitation must be performed immediately. It is necessary to monitor the health status of the stung before the arrival of the medical team ...

Issue price

Such a situation is not considered emergency, therefore, for the rescuers to remove the nest, most likely they will have to pay. It should be noted that each case is considered individually.

The final cost consists of the number of visits on a particular day. These services can also be provided by other specialized organizations. But they work in large cities. In small regional centers, the whole burden, as a rule, falls on the shoulders of the Ministry of Emergencies.

How to deal with a hornet

Hornets are the largest wasp living in families. In the European part of Russia common hornet (Vespa crabro) is common.

The common hornet is 26-30 mm long, the head and the front half of the chest are painted yellow. The first two rings are dark brown and yellow stripes, and the rest are yellow with brown spots.

Hornets live in families that form overwintered uterus. Each uterus creates a nest in spring in tree hollows, in fences, under the roofs of buildings, in the ground, etc. From the first spring generations, working hornets appear, and by autumn, males and females

Hornets make honeycombs in several tiers, horizontal, one-sided, similar to chocolate bars, with cells down. The building material for honeycombs and nest walls is paper made from chewed wood with saliva.

After 5 days, carnivorous larvae emerge from the eggs laid by the uterus. They are fed a chewed mass of captured bees, bumblebees, flies and other insects.

The development of the larvae lasts 9 days, after which they themselves spin the cocoon, which serves as a lid in the pupal stage. The pupal stage lasts 14 days. The highest number of hornets is observed in August and September.

The second is an attack on waiting bees, when a hornet, sitting on a summer path or the front wall of the hive, waits for one of the guard bees to approach it, grabs it and quickly flies away. In such cases, sometimes other bees catch up and fight with him, sometimes they kill.

The third is an attack on bees from around the corner, when the hornet sits on the side wall of the hive, carefully creeps up to the hole of the notch and grabs the bee.

Fourth - waiting for the bee "ambush" under the hive, where he grabs the bee when it flies there.

Stinging hornets is much more sensitive and dangerous than bees. They are treated by lubricating with honey, potassium permanganate, ammonia, applying onions and garlic to the sting site. After a few stings, immunity is developed.

Hornet management measures. The fight against hornets is their destruction in the spring, when solitary females fly to the apiary.

A good way to deal with hornets is to set traps - light, wide-necked bottles of water sweetened with honey.

But you can buy kalbofos or dichlorvos in aerosol packaging, which is much more convenient.

Adult hornets in apiaries are destroyed by laying out poisoned baits. The bait is made from raw or boiled finely chopped minced meat.

The minced meat is placed in cans, plates and placed in the apiary in closed boxes with openings into which hornets can penetrate, or in empty beehives with open notches in such a way that hens, dogs, and cats do not eat this bait.

In two or three days, when a mass flight of hornets is established behind minced meat, arsenic-sodium, Parisian herbs are mixed with it, which will cause mass poisoning of the hornets. For 1 kg of minced meat, it is enough to put 1 gr. Paris greenery.

Paris greens are potent poisons, and therefore require particularly stringent precautions when handling it. Empty hives and dishes in which the bait was placed should be washed thoroughly with hot water and liquor after use.

The fight against wasps and hornets in the country and in a private house

Wasps who settled in a country house or in a private country house spoil fruits and berries, scare adults and children, and can attack a person who is near an aspen nest.

Wasp nests are located in the attics of houses, sheds, baths, garages, less often under awnings and in arbors. They cannot be confused with other objects - they look like paper bags with holes along the perimeter.

Bites harm from wasps is not limited to - wasps are equally fond of garbage and sweet berries, fruits, which means they transfer intestinal infections from latrines to the harvest of fruits and berries. Wasps also love to drink, namely drink, alcoholic beverages: beer, wine, mash, etc. It is the love of drinking that allows them to be caught (details below).

Of course, wasps bring some benefit, exterminating harmful insects (caterpillars, beetles, ognevok, moths, etc.), bringing them food for pupae growing in nests. But the harm from the abundance of wasps overpowers the benefit from them. For example, a grape crop can be completely destroyed by wasps.

Hornets and wasps attack grapes, destroying the crop.
I note that fighting wasps and hornets is possible and necessary, especially if you have to deal not with stray insects, but with invaders of your territory.In the fight against wasps, all means are good, especially since they will not stand on ceremony with you, in which case.

Therefore, fight with wasps should begin in the spring, when overwintered females flew out, in search of nesting.

Some hornets are so arrogant that they build nests right under the windows of the house. The nests of wasps and hornets are located in the attics of the house, barn, garage; on the veranda; under the awnings; under the slate; in the cracks of window blocks of wooden houses and other secluded places.

I believe that combating wasps and hornets should be combined folk remedies and chemicals, carrying out comprehensive measures to destroy insects.

Removing old and new sockets

In the spring, you need to take time to examine the favorite places of nesting wasps and hornets: attics, awnings, roofs of sheds and verandas. You can detect nests by watching flying insects - they are not shy in choosing a place.

It is advisable to remove the nests at night when the wasps are sleeping and disoriented. The removed nests burn well, so they are burned in a pre-prepared fire. The bonfire should be hot so that flying insects burn out instantly, otherwise you will not be too sick.

Trap placement

Traps set up everywhere significantly reduce the number of insects. One alcohol trap from old one and a half liter beer bottles helps to catch up to 30 wasps per day. Alcohol traps for wasps and hornets are very effective.

Why is the trap an alcoholic one, because mash, beer, fermented wine and other liquids smelling of alcohol are used as bait for wasps and hornets. You can trap a sweet bait, but then along with the wasps, the bees will come across.

Making a trap for wasps with your own hands is simple - you need to cut a plastic bottle near the neck, at a distance of 6-10 cm from the end of the neck, and stick the neck upside down in the bottom of the bottle.

In the upper part of the structure, holes are made into which a wire or rope is inserted to hang a trap in places of accumulation of insects. You get a cheap, reliable, convenient and durable trap for wasps and hornets.

When a couple of dozens of traps are made, they pour the mash, beer or fermented wine, right through the formed funnel. Enough 100 ml of bait per trap.

Beer traps for wasps work especially well when the sun falls on them - the bait heats up and begins to “smell”, attracting dozens of insects. Hornets and wasps, crawl into the opening of the bottleneck, drink the liquid and no longer fly out.

Cheated nests. A deceived waspator and Wasp hornet nest can be bought at the store.

Wasps jealously guard their territory from aliens, so they do not settle in places where there are already nests. Insects do not understand the authenticity of nests, so you can safely hang something that looks like real nests.

Insecticide destruction of wasps

Chemical methods should complement folk remedies. In hardware stores you can find many insecticide preparations for wasps and hornets (for example, Otos), but you can also use universal drugs: Moskitol, Dichlorvos, etc.

Choosing one or more drugs for wasps at night, they process wasp nests without sparing their strength. Most wasps will die, some will leave their nests in search of a new residence.

Modern preparations based on chlorperifos destroy wasps and hornets within a few days. When the legs and bodies of insects come in contact with the treated surface, microcapsules with poison stick to them, which are safely delivered directly to the nests, where the entire colony of wasps dies.

Modern drugs are safe for people, easy to use in practice, they do not need to be deactivated.

I recommend choosing drugs from wasps and hornets based on the range of products in the nearest stores for summer residents.

What to do after a hornet bite

Hornets - the largest representatives of the paper wasp family - are found everywhere. They were nicknamed paper because they make their nests out of paper, which they themselves produce from the fibers of old wood, chewing and treating them with their sticky saliva.

Neighborhood with these hymenopteran insects can be extremely dangerous both for humans and domestic animals, as hornets have a habit of attacking them for no apparent reason.

Insect description

The body length of an adult hornet can reach 5.5 centimeters. At first glance, they may seem indistinguishable from other types of wasps, but upon careful examination, you can notice that the crown of the head is much larger and the front of the abdomen is more rounded.

Like all other wasps, hornets create so huge paper nests that the honeycombs in some of them are ten tiers.

The materials for their construction are birch branches and wood of rotten stumps, so the paper produced from them acquires not gray, but brown color. This feature distinguishes hornet nests from nests of other wasp species.

Hornets feed their larvae with previously chewed insects of other species (flies, bees, caterpillars, ants) and even small wasps.

The size, strength of powerful jaws and the presence of poison allow hornets to easily deal even with large insects - grasshoppers, wasps, locusts. The mortified individuals are completely chewed and, being turned into a nutrient suspension, are fed to the larvae.

A large amount of sugar is necessary for the nutrition of adult insects, so they are happy to eat the sweet secret secreted by aphids and some types of herbivorous insects, fruit juice, honey dew and flower nectar.

The worst consequences can occur if the hornet is in the oral cavity of a person along with a piece of a bitten fruit. A laryngeal tumor can completely block the access of air to the human respiratory tract, as a result of which it can suffocate.

Hornets are also called social wasps because they live only in colonies, which can number several thousand insects.

In the summer period, the colony is made up of working hornets, performing the activities necessary for the livelihoods of all its inhabitants (obtaining food for larvae and protecting it from enemies) and one uterus laying eggs.

They themselves do not tolerate wintering and die. Only female hornets wintered, founding new colonies in spring.

Danger and consequences

Being very painful for a person, a single bite as a whole does not pose a great danger to him.

According to the Schmidt scale, which demonstrates the painfulness of bites of various insects, the pain from a hornet bite is considered to be moderately severe and, being comparable to the pain caused by a bite of a honey bee, is located approximately in the middle of this scale.

The toxicity of poison in different species of hornets also varies significantly. Bites alone cause no more suffering than bites from other insects.

The consequences of being stung by other species of hornets, recognized as the most poisonous among all known insects, can be irreparable. In Japan, the bites of giant hornets annually kill 40 people.

After a hornet bite, a person may develop a strong allergic reaction that can lead to anaphylactic shock. If medical assistance to the victim is not provided on time, the case could be fatal.

Not being aggressive in nature, a hornet attacks only if it senses a clear threat to its nest or its own security. That is why the habitat of these insects should be avoided.

Why shouldn’t you independently destroy the nests of hornets who settled in the immediate vicinity of your home? The fact is that at the time of a clear threat, the attacked hornet begins to emit a special alarm pheromone, having caught which all the insects of this species located nearby rush to its defense.

Symptomatology

The particular painfulness of an ordinary hornet bite is largely due not to the toxicity of its poison, but to the impressive size of the sting and the amount of toxin introduced.

The hornet does not leave a sting in the wound and can sting repeatedly - this fact makes the attack of even one hornet especially dangerous for a person, because with every new bite the amount of poison that has entered the blood increases.

In some patients, limbs become colder, blood pressure decreases, speech is difficult, and the auricles and lips become bluish.

Manifestations of intoxication after hornet bites can be both weak and pronounced. This is due to the general state of health of the victim, his age, the presence of certain chronic ailments and a predisposition to the development of allergies.

Particularly rapidly intoxication in the body of the smallest children. Any child under the age of 15 bitten by a hornet must be shown to a doctor as soon as possible.

The most dangerous consequences of the penetration of the toxin into the blood are the development of a severe allergic reaction, manifested in the form of urticaria. In this case, the body of the victim of the bite is covered with huge - often combined into a single whole - red spots. In especially severe cases, urticaria is complicated by Quincke's edema.

A mosquito net can not always protect against hornet attacks: by shooting poison in the eyes, an insect can cause a serious retinal burn.

First aid for hornet bites

What is the first aid to a man bitten by a hornet? A bite wound can be treated with cotton wool soaked with a solution of potassium permanganate, ammonia (diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 5) or hydrogen peroxide. First aid may be washing the wound with clean cold water.

To relieve itching and reduce pain, you can rub a powder made from one aspirin tablet into the wound, apply a salt lotion or a plant that can dull the pain (a slice of cucumber, an onion slice, a leaf of parsley or plantain, dandelion juice).

First aid should include ensuring a plentiful drinking regime.
What to do if the victim was bitten in the tongue or larynx? An ambulance crew should be called immediately, as this may result in laryngeal edema and death.

Bite Prevention

What to do in order not to be attacked by a hornet? When taking a walk in an unfamiliar place, special care should be taken.

Having stumbled upon a hornet's nest, you should immediately move away from it. Hornets pursue their enemies at shorter distances than bees.
In no case should you knock on the nest or swing it - the reaction of the hornets will follow immediately.

Do not block the flight path of this insect. Faced with a hornet, do not drive it away, waving your hands. Also, any sudden movements are strictly prohibited. It is better for a while to freeze and stand still. After making sure that there is no danger, he will fly off by himself.

When enjoying a freshly picked fruit, make sure that there are no insects inside their pulp. To do this, just inspect the fetus before biting it.

You should never kill a hornet near its nest. Otherwise, you can be attacked by his entire large family.

Some food flavors and fragrances contained in perfumes can provoke a hornet attack, so it’s better not to use cosmetics or perfumes before going to nature.
