BLAINE, Wash. - The Washington State Department of Agriculture has found the first Asian giant hornet nest of 2021 in a rural area east of Blaine, about a quarter mile from where a resident reported seeing one of the hornets earlier this month.

WSDA says they narrowed the search area on Tuesday and located the nest Thursday morning.

Crews found the nest after they followed a hornet that was equipped with a tracking device. WSDA was able to net and tag three hornets between Aug. 11 – Aug. 17.

State entomologists will now develop a plan to eradicate the nest, most likely next week.

1. We knew about these last year

I would think we would of had a plan to kill them ready

2. You have to find the nest and kill the queen to be effective.

Just killing the handful you find flying around won't accomplish much.

Surprised we still need “ to develop a plan”
