In theory, yeah, I guess that that Brexit would permit for customs checks to be done.
But in practice, you’ve got the Republic of Ireland, which I assume will have free interchange with parts of the EU where the hornets are established, and I don’t think that hornets are going to care much about the Northern Ireland-Republic of Ireland border.
And they managed to get into Canada, and looking online, it looks like Canada doesn’t allow import of soil from anywhere other than the US, and we don’t allow it from anywhere at all.
