As expected, all fire zones are being flooded with requests for wasp exterminations. The Fire Brigade Zone Flemish Ardennes (BVLAR) is also currently out several times a day to combat annoying wasp nests. However, in order to make these interventions as efficient as possible, it is requested (instead of trying to contact us by phone) to register all reports / requests via the online form on the website of the fire department (which also includes the Zottegem Fire Service): www.bvlar.be/wespenverdelging.
In this way, all assignments can be planned efficiently, which benefits the fastest possible assistance. Attention is also drawn to the fact that the fire service can only intervene in the case of wasps or hornets. In the case of bumblebees and bees, no extermination may be carried out as these are protected species. It is also not always necessary to exterminate wasps. Wasps are also useful animals. You will find all the information about this on the Natuurpunt website. Calling on the fire brigade to destroy a wasp nest costs 40 euros.
