Transportation and agriculture crews are preparing to set traps along state highways this July in an effort to catch Asian giant hornets.
The Washington Department of Transportation announced that it will partner with other agencies to set at least 1,200 traps across Washington, KING5 reported.
They will focus on the northwest part of the state starting July 3.
The hornets were found in Blaine near the U.S.-Canadian border in December 2019. They are still at large and pose a threat to honeybees and native hornet species.
Although they are not particularly aggressive toward humans, their sting is said to be extremely painful.
The traps will be placed at least 6 feet high on trees near the edges of forests. Crews will check the traps every week during other normal maintenance and preservation work.
The Department of Agriculture has placed the giant hornets on the list of quarantine pests.
This gives the state more tools to help eradicate the invasive species by allowing the department to declare any land within 20 meters of a nest a restricted “infested site,” even if it sits on private property.
How many people die every year due to this bee / hornet sting worldwide?
Biden and Harris will welcome them with open arms an make them voters without carrying about who they sting to get them to love us. Harris will get on her knees.
Did they come in with the huge influx of chinese nationals that the Washington State government built that city for ? Just wondering…I have no problem with hard working people
This is a serious problem. We may see more invasive species ahead as the world warms up. They can migrate into places now whereas in the past cold or other issues kept them away.
Florida has a huge problem with invasive species esp. Burmese pythons. Imported as pets, they got loose in a storm and people released them once they got tired of them. They are very potent predators and have done great damage to wildlife in Florida.

naturally like your web site however you need to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth on the other hand I will surely come again again.
