How to spot a processionary caterpillar nest

  • A clearly visible white silk nest at the tip of an oak or pine branch
  • Processions of caterpillars descending the tree in single file, especially in spring
  • Urticating hairs scattered on the ground, lawns or benches beneath the tree
  • Skin reactions, itching or eye irritation after walking nearby

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.

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.
