Abel is impressed, but not mad. The hornet sting is painful. In addition, the insect is able to spray a kind of acid at eye level.
Some neighbours, who are allergic, closed their windows, so Abel called one of his friends, an insect repellent. His name is Michael Debière. And the Asian hornet knows how to get rid of it: “what we are going to do is that we are going to inject a very volatile powder into the nest, and the insect will disperse this powder in the nest and be very quickly neutralized“.
You can also call the fire department. 112. It is also advisable to report the nest to the Walloon Region on the site observatoire.biodiversite.wallonie.be
But what is certain is that we must act now, according to our insect specialist: “it is important because this primary nest will develop another secondary nest which will be grafted to the top of a tree between 8 and 40 meters high“. Much less accessible than Abel’s nest box. In addition, this nest will be used during the winter to educate a hundred queens. In the spring, each survivor will be at the head of a new nest in our gardens and our campaigns.
