Present in the Brevon valley for several years, the Asian hornet has seen a considerable rise in its nest and individual numbers in Vailly this year. These nests pose a direct threat to the local population as well as to bee colonies, which are suffering from increased predation.
Currently, the so-called 'secondary' nests, which can reach 80 cm to 1 meter in diameter, are often located high up, under roofs or in the tops of trees. As leaves fall, these nests become more visible. Their destruction before the cold weather arrives is crucial to limit the proliferation of this invasive exotic species and prevent future queens from hibernating.
To report a nest, simply visit the website www.frelonsasiatiques.fr or download the mobile application 'Frelon Asiatique'. After creating an account, users can click on 'Signaler' and fill out a form providing essential information for the departmental network stakeholders. Tracking the handling of your report is possible through account creation.
