Who should I call about a hornet's nest?
Anyone's first instinct is to call the fire department. However, the fire brigade has to deal with other emergencies, and every year it becomes more and more inundated with calls about Asian hornets. As a result, the fire department now only deals with emergencies that pose an imminent danger to residents. Waiting lists are often several days long before the fire department arrives at your door.
Well-equipped and well-trained people, such as local beekeepers, can in some cases come to your rescue. However, beekeepers who are not professional insect killers may lack some very specific equipment (such as a long-distance pole).
The best way to neutralize a hornet's nest is to call on the services of a fully-equipped and qualified professional pest control operator like Pest Patrol. Our company offers an eradication, elimination and neutralization service for hornet nests, using insecticides reserved for professional use.

The European hornet
It's essential to differentiate between the European Hornet and its Asian cousin. The European hornet has always been present on our soil and poses no particular danger or threat to our biodiversity or environment. Like bees, European hornets are protected. Intervention can only be justified if there is a real danger to humans. Comfort« interventions (to enhance the beauty of a garden or landscape, for example) are therefore excluded.
How can you tell the European from the Asian Hornet? Nothing could be simpler. Just look at the specimens. European hornets have an almost entirely yellow abdomen, whereas Asian hornets have a black abdomen except for the fourth segment, which is yellow. In addition, European hornets' nests are brownish in color and have an entrance at the bottom of the nest, whereas Asian hornets' nests have entrances at the sides.
The Asian hornet
The Asian hornet, originally from Asia, comprises several species, of which only two, Vespa Crabro and V. Velutina nigrithorax, have been observed in Belgium. The life cycle of Asian hornets includes an overwintering phase from January to March, followed by the creation of primary nests from March to June, and a predation period from June to September. New foundresses start breeding in autumn. They tend to choose sheltered places such as attics, roofs, false ceilings, courtyards, hollow trees, stumps, sheds, birdhouses, doghouses, burrows, visiting rooms, caravans, beehives, chimneys, unoccupied shelters, and of course, tree heights to establish the new nest.
Asian hornets have few natural predators in our regions, which encourages their proliferation. They pose a threat to biodiversity by attacking colonies of bees and other pollinators, and can also be dangerous to humans if they get too close. A dozen or so hornet stings can lead to severe anaphylactic shock, and even death if emergency services fail to take prompt action.
As with all pests, total and complete elimination and eradication from our environment has now become impossible due to their proliferation. Targeted neutralization is therefore preferable. The pest control campaigns set up by the public authorities cannot completely neutralize a nest. The most effective method is to eradicate the nest using a pyrethroid-type insecticide powder, applied by a professional such as Pest Patrol.
