Hornets are on notice as the Government commits $12 million to stamp them out in Auckland.
The yellow-legged hornet was detected on the North Shore earlier this year.
They pose a serious threat to honeybees and, by extension, to the agricultural sector.
Biosecurity Minister Andrew Hoggard says since the start of November, 37 queen hornets and 28 nests have been destroyed.
More than 730 traps have already been deployed.
Hoggard told Kerre Woodham they’ve searched over 6000 properties so far.
