Oak processionary moth

For acute control of the oak processionary moth (EPS), the nests are usually vacuumed with approved industrial vacuum cleaners. This method largely prevents the stinging hairs from spreading into the surrounding area.

This work should only be carried out by appropriate specialist companies (e.g. for pest control) in compliance with the necessary protective measures.

The caterpillars and webs of EPS must not be disposed of in the public waste collection system via the residual waste or organic waste garbage cans.

Delivery to the central landfill sites is only possible in compliance with the delivery conditions specified in the information sheet.
