Report a nest
This time of the year, queens awaken from dormancy and begin to build an embryonic nest. This is a small nest the size of a ping-pong ball, in a sheltered place.
What happens with my report
- We will validate your report. This can take a couple of days.
- Contact your fire department in case of immediate danger, for example when the nest is located near a house or other high-risk area.
- We will notify you if it concerns a nest of Asian hornets.
- We will also send you an overview of professional erradicators specialized in the species. You can contact these if you prefer, we currently don’t assign an erradicator to your report automatically. A coordinated control for Asian hornet is in preparation.
