Together against the yellow-legged hornet
Waspy: Your partner in the fight against the yellow-legged hornet
The asian hornet: impacts on the environment and the economy
A growing expansion of this asian hornet in France and Europe
+30% bee colonies killed each year
21,770 nests destroyed in Brittany
Growing expansion throughout Europe (+80km a year)
Non-selective and unmonitored commercial traps and bins
Are the trapping instructions really known and followed correctly?
A hornet’s nest consumes around 11kg of insects a year.
No Selectivity of traps ! How many unwanted insects are trapped unnecessarily?
Increasingly significant costs and intervention methods
The interventions are multiple and represent an additional risk for the operator
Presences observed in increasingly numerous agricultural and arboreal areas and impactful.
And you, how do you control this nuisance in your municipality?
Set up a sustainable disinfestation service in compliance with the French national hornet control plan-PNF.
French national plan against hornets
Waspy offers you a 3-step Service

After this first visit
After our visit a report will be provided to you.
This personalized report will present:
- A reminder of your municipal objectives in regard to the French national control plan or your country plan if it does exist. This report will consider experience feedback and the possible future with your stakeholders in your territory.
- A visual map of the presences already recorded. The deduced location of the traps to be deployed.
- A communications plan for your services.
- A “Citizen Trapper” Charter and a “Hornet Charter” for nest destruction professionals. These documents are updated with your regional specificities.
Once this report is approved by your technical services, your campaign can officially be launched and communicated this way. We organize the implementation phase with your services and all relevant stakeholders detailed as such in the next step.

Innovative pest control thanks to connected selective capture bins and a mobile application
Waspy has gone all out on the performance of using geolocatable selective bins designed to last thanks to recycling and local sourcing!
These bins called WaspTrap were designed as a Kit with our partner “Egur Berri” for All-in-One use.
WaspTrap Bins
- Kit made of recycled and paraffined wood for longer longevity.
- Manufacturing and delivery of the Kit made by Waspy.
- “Ready to Assemble” instructions.
- Bait provided or distributed annually according to the terms of our agreements.
They are designed to both selectively attract hornets and facilitate counting individuals. As you will have understood, the aim is not so much to kill the trapped individuals as to avoid trapping unwanted insects.
Trapping Mode or Observation Mode?
Trapping mode
Observation mode
Trapping Mode
These bins are designed to be used in two modes of positioning the entrance grids. In accordance with the recommendations of the French National hornet Control Plan (PNF), the WaspTrap tank is highly selective thanks to its selective grids/traps and a separation of the bait zone from the passage zone.
Observation mode
Outside of the recommended trapping periods, thanks to this clever reversible tilting of the selective grids/traps, the tank transforms into an observation tank and allows the reporting of observations of insect passages without killing them (Tracking).
Did you say connected?
Connect the User to their municipality to anticipate nuisances! In the interest of efficient collection of reports, the interest is to help anticipate, for our services and the designated pest control services, the expansion of hornets in the municipality.
We are developing a communicating box for counting and recognition.
Our box, called Waspod, is designed to automatically identify individual insects passing through the tank.
This information is valuable for the calculations of our platform and to highlight the density of presence in the municipality and the effectiveness of the Trapping Mode over time.
Move forward with us and our technology. The Artificial Intelligence of our platform allows us to anticipate presence predictions using the data collected.
Do users observe a significant number of hornets passing through the bins? An abnormality? A breakage?
Thanks to a rigid tag/badge system (NFC technology) which has been designed to attach to the bins, your users inform us of their reports using the Mobile WaspTracker application.
In the 2 positioning modes, the reporting of observed insects is done using the Mobile application.
Need bait? An abnormality? A damage? your users notify us and inform you.
Application Mobile WaspTracker
An application for administered citizens
Your users can make 3 types of reports:
– View the nests present in the municipality on an interactive map.
– Request a renewal of bait, or replacement of defective equipment.
– Report any nest spotted in the municipality.
– Report individuals in order to go and search of the nests (Triangulation tracking method with visual landmark positioned on a map).
An application for nest destruction actors or professionals
The professionals who work on the nests in your municipality can:
– Make their own report.
– View in real time on a map the nests geolocated and declared by the administrators.
– Provide the necessary details for their interventions.
Are you a municipality already equipped?
Do you want to use your own bins or have them made locally?
Waspy does not stop at its own devices, we will do our best to meet your expectations and concerns.
If the diagnosis we made together requires us to continue with an existing system or a local supply or manufacturing model, we will be able to adapt.
Within the framework given by the French PNF, we bring our expertise to your stakeholders.
Whether you choose manufacturing by a service provider in your area or supply highly selective traps, we adapt to your situation.
Our programmable NFC tags can be attached to any type of highly selective device on the market. In agreement with the French PNF; we consider as a prerequisite for our partnership and the implementation of our proposal.
Engage your municipality in a process of cooperation and sustainable service to control impacts on the hornet your local economy and your environment.
Ensure a regular monitoring
Once a year, we ensure this monitoring by developing a decision-making summary. This essential moment is a time of sharing and a return of uses. Based on reliable indicators from the year and past campaigns, these will make it possible to decide on next actions.
Analysis of active presence
The impact study will take into account the initial diagnosis as well as the results of implementation in your means of control.
Our report will highlight the indicators:
- WaspTrap/Bin not activated
- WaspTrap/Bin reported as abnormal
- WaspTrap/Bin usage rate
- Rates of reported hornets
- Rate of non-harmful insects captured
- Nests reported during the current campaign
- Nests taken in charge in the current campaign
- Statistical attendance rate
Analysis of resources and methods used
We conduct interviews with professional Members in your municipality and check methods used during interventions and the usage of Phyto Pharmaceutical Products (PPP). We encourage the use of more ecological techniques (water vapor, aspiration).
Our report will highlight the indicators:
- Error reporting rate
- Non-targeted interventions
- Targeted interventions
- Non-targeted intervention rate
- Rate of targeted interventions with use of PPP
- Rate of targeted interventions without use of PPP
- Total cost of interventions
