Why processionary caterpillars are dangerous

The urticating hairs of oak and pine processionary caterpillars detach and cling to clothing, skin and mucous membranes. They cause itching, conjunctivitis, asthma attacks and severe allergic reactions, particularly in children and pets. The risk persists for several years after nesting.

Our method against processionary caterpillars

  1. Locating and identifying nests in oaks and pines
  2. Nest destruction by safe vacuum removal with full protective equipment
  3. Treatment of the tree and surrounding area to neutralise urticating hairs
  4. Prevention and monitoring advice for the following season

Frequently asked questions

Can you destroy a caterpillar nest yourself?

It is not recommended: handling and especially burning the nest disperses urticating hairs into the air and worsens the risk. Only an intervention with vacuum removal and full protective equipment eliminates the nest safely.
