This is a serious environmental problem. Hornets do not ordinarily do this

sort of thing. They gravitate toward disturbed areas.

 

You've brought up a whole huge field of study in itself -- Geobiology, which

is the study of energies that emanate from the Earth, and how they affect

living beings. I've written some on this subject elsewhere, and don't

really have a whole lot of time to redo that work. But if we get into

direct communication, perhaps there's a way to work things out, or i could

find and send a few files, depending on what can be read at the other end.

 

When you say " Comanche Moon Farm of Texas " my first instinct is to tell you

to find a Kiowa medicine man, because he would know how to purify your

ground. (There's an inside joke here -- Comanches were the mortal enemies

of Kiowas and many other decent people -- but they were ultimately founded

by a tribe closely related to the Kiowas. There aren't too many Comanches

left, but the Kiowas have kept up their knowledge of the southern prairie

ecosystem and its appropriate medicines.)

 

Another factor is, the proximity of the infested area to any buildings,

especially the main house. That's a very important thing, because there can

be other effects of the fundamental problem besides just the hornets, and

some of those effects can literally be deadly. You can regard hornets as a

blessing, because they are warning you about a deeper problem.

 

Obviously, pesticides are not the answer. They will eventually make the

problem worse, as they create a disturbance of their own.

 

As a last sort of " shotgun " approach, i would recommend planting certain

flowers and trees in the area. This is a lousy time to plant the best

flowers, which would be marigolds, petunias, and geraniums. But you can put

in some gladiolus bulbs now, and they may help. It's also a good time to

plant trees. For trees, i would need to know the exact ecosystem you're in,

to make any fair recommendation.

 

Oh, there's the homeopathic approach -- capture a whole bunch of the

hornets, burn them, take the ashes and put them in a blender, dilute the

whole mess about 100 times, and then spray the water where you don't want

hornets. Rudolf Steiner did this with rabbits in southern Germany once.

When you think about it, this is a very ugly but effective way to deal with

a problem. But i don't think this would address the fundamental disturbance

of the land.
