wasps and hornets have never been so numerous

A few days ago in Sainte-Marguerite-sur-Duclair (Seine-Maritime), Patrick and Corinne Chambry made a bad discovery in their attic: a wasp’s nest. To get rid of it, they called in a specialized company. Nicolas Leboulch is a former firefighter. For eleven years, he has been involved in the destruction of wasp and hornet nests, for the company Destruct wasps. “There are a lot of insects this year. The winter was rather mild, which also favors the establishment in the spring, because there is less mortality among the queens in winter”explains the specialist.

The intervention is fast. Once the nest has been identified, a few seconds are enough to spray it with a contaminant. It will take a total of three to ten days to be finally rid of. Amount of the invoice: 85 euros. A sum that can climb up to 200 euros, depending on the size and height of the nest. Allô la guêpe works with 35 municipalities in the Rouen Normandy metropolitan area. For the past few weeks, she has intervened up to 70 times a day. We will have to wait until the fall to hope for a little respite.
