While there have been no confirmed sightings of Asian giant hornets, or 'murder hornets,' in B.C. since May, the provincial government says it has placed traps and is monitoring priority areas this summer.

Asian giant hornets discovered in Nanaimo: Sept. 19, 2019 VICTORIA -- While there have been no confirmed sightings of Asian giant hornets, or "murder hornets," in B.C. since May, the provincial government says it has placed traps and is monitoring priority areas this summer.

Other surveillance projects include two taking place on Vancouver Island in Nanaimo and the Cowichan Valley. Due to limited resources, the province says that it is unable to respond to hornet sightings if there are no photographs or physical evidence of the insect. If you are feeling particularly brave, you can place a drinking glass over the hornet and slide a piece of paper underneath the cup to trap it. You can then put the cup into a fridge or freeze and wait approximately 30 minutes for the insect to stop moving. Pictures of the hornet can then be taken safely and submitted to the province.
