The expected storm weather may cause Asian hornet nests to fall from trees. If you find a nest on the ground or among fallen branches after the storm, it is advised to be extra cautious and maintain a sufficient distance.
It is important not to touch the nest and certainly not to attempt to remove or clean it up yourself. Also, keep children and pets away from the vicinity of a found nest.
In case of a dangerous situation, direct telephone contact can be made with Vespabusters at 0479 02 26 82. They will assess the situation and tailor the further approach to the potential safety risk.
Nests can also be reported via vespawatch.be.
Even after the storm has passed, caution remains important. Be vigilant when clearing fallen branches or other green waste, as a fallen nest may be present among the debris.
In summary, the municipality advises: stay well clear of a fallen nest, do not touch or attempt to remove it yourself, keep children and pets at a distance, and report the nest to Vespabusters or via vespawatch.be.
