These hornets are heavily over hyped. I work in pest control. See our answer below.

The Truth Behind the “Murder Hornets”
The Asian giant hornet, or Vespa mandarinia, has recently been the subject of widespread news and headlines as invading the United States. But here’s the truth: There have been only two verified reports from Washington state, dating back to late last year. Although the news is inciting fear, this should not be classified as an “invasion.” The Washington State Department of Agriculture is currently spearheading efforts to locate any established Asian giant hornet nests and eradicate them, so they do not become an invasive species.

The other important thing to note is that while its sting is painful, and occasionally lethal, the “murder” nickname applies to what this hornet does to honeybees and the devastation they can have on a hive. Like all hornets and yellow jackets, Vespa mandarinia have no interest in humans and remain a low risk to us. In fact, there are many other insects that generally pose a higher risk to people.

Are these bastards as hard to kill as everyone has been saying? Will a healthy shot of Raid kill them or should we be ordering some tesla flamethrowers?

Gasoline down the hole would do a BETTER JOB than almost any thing you could get at the store. As there really isn't anything on the North American market that is design to tackle these things, yet I stress yet.
