Local ground: Yvelines
Large forests, loops of the Seine and old stone buildings: in the Yvelines, wasps readily nest under roofs and inside walls, dormice move into lofts and mice settle in crawl spaces.
The same pointers apply around Saint-Germain-en-Laye, in Poissy, Mantes-la-Jolie and Versailles.
Signs to look for at home
- 01Insects coming and going at the same spot on a wall
- 02A steady hum behind wall panelling or a roller-shutter box
- 03A ball of grey paper hanging from a branch or under a roof
- 04Unusually many wasps around a terrace or a bin

Wasp and hornet nest removal: what the technician does
Areas and situations covered
- Common wasp, German wasp
- European hornet (Vespa crabro)
- Asian hornet
- Roofs, eaves and lofts
- Roller-shutter boxes, flues
- Trees, hedges and sheds
By late summer a wasp or hornet nest can hold several thousand insects. Getting close without protection, hosing it down or blocking its entrance triggers a collective defence: this is a job for an equipped professional.
The technician first identifies the species and spots the flight hole. In a full protective suit, he injects an approved insecticide into the heart of the nest, using a telescopic pole if needed: most nests under roofs, in hedges or in roller-shutter boxes can be reached without scaffolding. Activity stops within hours, and the nest is taken down when it can be reached.
Sentinel Protocol
Four stages, in this order, in Saint-Germain-en-Laye as everywhere else
The technician treats nothing before understanding the problem, and does not leave without sealing or flagging the entry points.
Step 1
Inspect
Species identified, nest and flight hole located, access and risks to occupants assessed.
Step 2
Treat
Approved insecticide injected into the heart of the nest, by pole if necessary, ideally once the colony is back inside.
Step 3
Sanitise
Nest removed when accessible, flight hole in the wall or shutter box blocked to limit a new colony the following year.
Step 4
Follow up
Check that activity has stopped, photos and advice; if activity persists, we review it with you as set out in the protocol.

What do I get after the treatment?

Do you also deal with honeybee swarms?
No, we do not destroy bees, which are precious pollinators. We refer you to a beekeeper who can collect the swarm.
I've spotted an Asian hornet nest: what should I do in the meantime?
Keep your distance, at least five metres, do not touch the nest and do not try to block or spray it. Close nearby windows, keep children and pets away, and note where it is so you can guide the technician.
