The fight against the Asian hornet concerns us all

This proximity increases the risk of unintentional encounters with the occupants of the dwelling.
-
Risk if a nest is located near the dwelling
The presence of an Asian hornet nest in a garden tree, under a roof or in a shelter greatly increases the danger, as any unintentional approach can provoke a collective reaction from the hornets.
-
Nuisances during outdoor activities
This creates a situation of constant stress for the occupants, who may fear moving freely around their house or balcony.
-
Risk of multiple stings
Although the Asian hornet is not aggressive by nature, it may attack in groups when its nest is threatened. This poses a real risk of stings , with potentially serious consequences in the case of multiple stings.

Danger to children and animals
Children, attracted by insects, and pets, often curious, are more likely to approach a nest or try to catch a hornet. This unintentional proximity increases the risk of a group attack.

Where should I install a trap in a garden or around the house?
Choosing the right location for the trap is essential for it to be effective without causing a nuisance:
- Place the trap away from frequently used areas (terrace, children's play area).
- Choose quiet areas of the garden, near hedges or areas where hornets pass.
- Avoid installing it too close to windows or doors so as not to attract hornets to the house.
A good location allows you to capture hornets on the periphery of the living area.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I regularly see Asian hornets in my garden?
Seeing Asian hornets repeatedly in your garden may indicate the presence of a nearby nest or a frequently used flight path. It's advisable to observe their flight paths from a distance to identify any regular routes, without approaching them. Setting up targeted traps around the perimeter of the garden can help reduce their presence and limit the nuisance they cause around the house.

Is trapping dangerous for children and pets?
A trap that is properly installed and placed out of the direct reach of children and animals poses no particular danger. It is recommended to position the trap in a quiet area of the garden, away from play areas and walkways. Responsible installation helps control Asian hornets while maintaining a safe environment for the family.
Can I destroy an Asian hornet nest myself in my home?
It is strongly advised against attempting to destroy an Asian hornet nest yourself. Without proper equipment and training, the risk of multiple stings is high, as hornets actively defend their colony. The safest solution is to report the nest to the local council or call in a professional specializing in hornet nest removal.

At what time of year should action be taken against the Asian hornet around the house?
Spring is a crucial time to take action, as this is when queen wasps emerge from hibernation to establish new nests. Setting traps as soon as temperatures begin to rise helps limit the establishment of colonies near homes. In summer and autumn, vigilance remains important to quickly identify a nest in formation.
Is trapping enough to prevent a nest from appearing near my home?
Trapping is a useful preventative measure, but it does not guarantee the complete absence of nests. It must be complemented by regular monitoring of the garden and the area around the house , as well as by the prompt reporting of any nests spotted. This combination of actions significantly reduces the risk of the Asian hornet establishing a permanent presence near the home.
