This summer, wasps, hornets and Asian hornets would be much more numerous than last year in the Marne.
As a direct consequence, the number of interventions to eradicate their nests is booming.
Guêpes-Apens, a company specializing in these operations, saw its activity increase by 50% in the department, the manager told France Bleu Champagne-Ardenne.
He explained the phenomenon by a particularly mild winter 2021-2022 and the absence of frosts in the spring.
According to the specialist, these conditions favored the proliferation of these insects.
With the key to an increased need to get rid of nests.
Residents are advised not to remove them without the intervention of a professional.
Firefighters do not move
Experts inject nests with a powder containing a neurotoxin for flying insects.
The structures can then be safely destroyed.
It is useless to call the fire brigade, who do not take care of these interventions.
The cost of the visit of a professional is also borne by some municipalities.
