Rhododendron


The insect you have described is probably a European hornet. European hornets gather bark to build nest. Knockdown sprays of pyrethrins will kill the hornets if you can get it on them. For more information see Insect Note (Not Available), Insect Picture (Not Available), Pesticide Chart (Not Available), Pest Management Calendar.
