Hunting and killing methods of wasps

Wasps are one of the important natural enemies of bees in mountain areas in autumn. they are Hymenoptera insects that kill bees to steal honey, and are the main enemies of mountain bee farms in summer and autumn. There are 115 common species of wasps in China, and the main ones that harm the beekeeping industry are golden wasps. Also known as bumblebee, yellow-edge wasp, black shield wasp and base wasp, how to control is a headache problem for beekeepers. Introduce several methods, hoping to be helpful to beekeepers.

Poison killing method

1. Net live wasps with insect masks, then use anti-sting gloves (pay attention to personal protection, it is not fun to be stung by wasps), put it into a jar filled with powder, cover it, and release it for about 1 minute, so that the wasps do not die on the spot or on the way back, and can poison other family members, this method is vicious, from the ecological balance, try not to use it.

2. After binding cotton to the self-made small iron arrow and stained with "dichlorvos", "Baomianfeng" and other highly toxic pesticides, the "poison arrow" is gently inserted into the honeycomb with a special combination of long poles, so that the "poison arrow" stays in the honeycomb forever. the poison spreads rapidly in the honeycomb, and the whole cage of wasps can be poisoned in tens of minutes, because the members of this method generally do not alarm the wasps and make most of the wasps "happy".

Burning method

Tie a piece of cotton wool to a special iron arrow or long bamboo pole, pour gasoline or diesel oil on it and light it, and firefighters in anti-beehive clothes burn the beehives in the woods directly with torches. this method is generally used to deal with beehives below 8 meters on branches in the wild, and its effect is better, but the disadvantage is that how to find the beehives is a problem to be discussed.

Bagging method

The bagging method refers to using a cloth pocket of 1 meter square to pack the whole cage of the beehive located on the balcony, window or lower part of the house into the bag. when removing, the action should be light, accurate and fast, as long as the "three requirements" are well done. under normal circumstances, the adults and larvae of the whole cage of wasps can be eliminated, and this method generally does not leave "sequelae" is one of the methods worth popularizing.

Shooting method

The shooting method means that after the air gun bullet is processed, cotton is tied to the back of the lead bullet and then stained with poison, and the "poison bomb" is fired into the honeycomb, so that the "poison bomb" stays in the honeycomb, and its power spreads slowly, resulting in the death of wasps in the honeycomb. The shooting method is suitable for dealing with honeycombs at a height of more than 10 meters, but this method is unable to see the effect in a short time because of the small dose of poison smeared on the "bullet". When the drug power gradually weakens. It doesn't do much damage.

Tree-cutting method

The tree-cutting method is mainly aimed at cutting down the tree with the hornet's nest when the fire and shooting methods can not be used. After the tree falls, it will be destroyed by burning it in a bag or pouring gasoline. This method will not be used in general, because it consumes a lot of physical strength of firefighters and destroys trees, so it is not worth popularizing.
