This is a hilarious piece because I had a murder hornet land on me in Lanark, Ontario this summer. This will age like Bush's 'Mission Accomplished' speech.
Are you sure it wasn't a giant European hornet? I'd never seen them here in ontario till this summer and they look very similar. It's even similar in size. Located near North Bay. I know I mistook them for murder hornets when I first saw them.
This announcement is probably the same as claiming a species is endangered. If they actually have no proof of sightings for a determined time then they make the claim. Reading the comments and having heard a story myself about sightings in Ontario, I can’t confirm nor deny the actual eradication. The real questions are does the general public know enough about the actual invasive species to identify it? How many species are there that are close in size or look similar or both? If there is something similar, what kind of trait makes it distinctive to the invasive species alone? Lastly, if something as serious as an invasive species possibly being spotted in a new area, how can the general public report this. Is there a website, a phone number, a department of natural resources office? All if these things are important!
He is right about the hogs, but failed to mention the restrictions on hunting them. Why on earth would there be any restrictions on an invasive species that causes so much destruction. Offer hunters money for their paws or something.
Let’s get ticks on the eradication list!
No species on this planet can out-murder humans.
Without the pollinators, we all die.
this is what i like about winter. no bugs.
How to they know there aren't any hiding somewhere?
Also, wild pigs contaminate water sources.

Probably as @angelaaniol2353 says, a giant European Hornet. I encountered a few of those this past summer in Deep River, Ontario.
I saw two last year in the French river area, if not, then then they have identical looking cousins.
That never happened.
Did you report it? If you didn't, then the resurgence of murder hornets is YOUR FAULT.
What’s to prevent them from reestablishing in North America?
Wild boars, when bacon comes to you.
I saw these hornets in Japan on my vacation and they're definitely huge and move quickly o.o

Most invasive species in Canada are bipedal and have no natural wings. They do have tons of our tax dollars.
Don't be so sure. I hope there is a vigorous monitoring system in place.
Doug Ford in Ontario won't allow hunting of invasive wild boars but allows torture of native wildlife.
Murder hornets can destroy a native bee colony in 90 minutes ... how long does it take a wild boar?
Uhh- I see these in the woods in Ontario. Apparently they missed some?
This is way way way to premature to say this is the end of them... The "officals" should know better
Ok, random youtube commenter with no credentials.

I think it's premature....3 years is not enough time. Should wait at least 7 to 10 years before declaring them eradicated.
Why can't the wild boars be relocated?
Classic hubris....
Ugh that thumbnail. Pinned insects give me the jibblies.
sure ....lol
Was it the end of the "hornets", or the end of the Left on the North American continent?
