As autumn approaches, many garden owners worry about the possible presence of an Asian hornet nest. October is the ideal time to destroy a nest because it is still active but the young queens have not all left. A nest is recognized by its beige-brown oval shape, the constant insect activity, and its size which can reach 80 cm. For nests that are high or large, it is advisable to call a professional, with some municipalities covering part of the costs.

Each year, the proliferation of the Asian hornet worries both individuals and beekeepers, as this insect is a formidable predator of bees and a real danger to humans. A single action, done at the right time, can significantly limit its spread for the entire season.
