The Asian hornet hunt is launched in the Val-de-Marne

"SOS Hornets".

Here is the name of the operation launched by the Paris-Est-Marne-et-Bois territory to try to get rid of the Asian hornet.

The intercommunality has made available to residents a toll-free number to report the presence of a nest.

The latter can thus dial 0 800 00 66 94 at the slightest doubt, reports

.

The community then sends an agent on site to check if there is indeed a hornet's nest.

If this is the case, it finances the intervention of a professional to eliminate the insects.

An operation that can cost several hundred euros.

An envelope of 50,000 euros

Paris-Est-Marne-et-Bois has provided an envelope of 50,000 euros for this new service "with the objective of defending biodiversity", explains to the

Olivier Capitanio (LR), president of the territory and of the Departmental Council.

In 2021, a hundred nests had been identified in the 13 municipalities of the territory.
