Hornets and Mirrors, my experience with 5th gen mirrors Options

[orvillescelica]

A pacakge comes today and im all excited since i know they are the 5th gen mirrors i bought from some guy on celicatech. But when i open the box, immediatly 4 hornets fly out!! I open the window and they and they eventully fly away. So then i take the mirrors to the hose and wash them both out to try and see if there are any more hornets hidding behind the mirrors. Nothing, so i start to install the mirrors. First one goes ok, until i realize that the bolts for the 6th gen mirrors are different from the 5th gen ones. So since i already did the wiring on one mirror, i duct tape it in place and drive to Lowes. I take the other mirror inside with me to test the bolts and find the right one. I pay, go back home, and am about to start installing the other mirror when.... another hornet flies out!!! So back to the hose i go, trying to flush them out. I flush out another 4 more hornets, making 8 all together. But one hornet is scrappy and crawls his way back in. So currently, i have dunked the entire mirror assembly underwater to try and drown any and all remaining hornets. two questions:

Can hornets survive underwater like ants can?

Will dunking the mirrors underwater affect the power motor or any of the electric connections on the mirror?

As long as you dont hook power up until the water is all evaporated, it will be fine.

I'd take a video of doing it to my video camera, but I wouldnt have anything to tape with :-P

I'd say try some insect killer of some sort... as jay suggested
