I killed 15 or so in one day last time they were active, with my bug zapper fly swatter. It kinda looks like a small tennis racket.
Im eying the Judge in .410 for this task. Lol

The traps are good when Ya can't be on Bee patrol. There is some gratification when I smack them out of the air, but usually only if I happen to be going to and from the car ore something.
Those Zappers seem cool, but, I don't really see the need to shock them. When I hit them, they are dead on impact.😁
Might be effective on smaller pests though....

Don't bother me none. Those are big creatures, and I find the swat sometimes don't do it. When you live in a wood cabin in the woods you'll appreciate my method.

Ya, might have to p/u one for at the mountain cabin. Lots of different aerial pests up there. The little ones will probably pass right through the tennis racket.

I had trouble with them several years ago. I just waited until they went into their little tunnel and then put a plug of caulking to plug the hole.
