Asian Hornet update

could you make an ARPA with a standard 3000v horse electric fence charger and galv electric fence wire? or is a fence charger different

The voltage seems good, I guess so.

I assumed that VV were attracted to hives to eat bees - and caught. As far as other insects , no attractant so only random passing traffic.

Correct

A horse fencer works on a pulse timing so to be effective it would only work on the on pulse

Again if the pos / neg wires are wider apart than a bees wing span but less than a hornets then that makes it selective as the voltage is between any two adjacent wires hope this helps

i have seen constant voltage fence charges in the forest of dean for wild boar fencing but a)expensive B) Mains C) 5000v

Try going down the route of step up transformer should be cheaper low current

I think that is what they use here, 12v-1500v and a solar panel to keep the battery topped up. The box is only about 20cm square and low cost

Sounds about right

12v battery = DC you will need an inverter to convert to AC before a transformer can be used

?
how about this of ebay would this work?
