A mirror works.  Just had a swarm that landed about 40 plus feet up
on a poplar limb. Definitely out of our reach.  We aimed the light
from a  mirror (about 2' by 2') on it for about 10 minutes with no
obvious effect and then the swarm started breaking up, taking to the
air and it dropped all the way to the ground where we had a box
waiting for it.
