I'm just wondering what operating procedure the guy normally goes through with the hornets.
He could fill the vac with poison before opening, but then why didn't he just use that in the best in the first place?
He may release them. With bee swarms it's common practice to starve them for a day before putting them into their new hive. That way they don't immediately swarm/leave again. Wouldn't be surprised if something like that works with hornets too. Starve them a bit then release them in the woods.
FYI no need for poison. Just use dish-soap water. (Works for bees at least and their carapace is the same material as hornets/wasps)
Article said he puts down the hornets. And I don't blame him at all..
