Hornet control in Rotterdam
Hornets or a suspected nest near your Rotterdam home or business? Keep your distance and send a photo from a safe place. We assess species, nest location and access.
- ✓ Treatment and costs agreed in advance
- ✓ Urgent visit within 24 hours where available
- ✓ A report after the visit
Identification: what have you found?
European hornets have reddish-brown parts and broad yellow bands. Yellow-legged hornets, previously called Asian hornets, have a dark thorax and yellow leg tips. Size alone is not a diagnosis. Photograph only from a safe distance.
These are comparison images, not photographs of your property. Magnification varies; on-screen size does not indicate body length.

Rotterdam
A plan for your property.
Roof, facade or shed
A concealed nest requires different access from a visible one. Describe the height and entry point without approaching it.
Tree or elevated nest
For a high nest, we assess access and required equipment first. Safe access influences price and planning.
Terraces and business grounds
For activity near terraces, playgrounds or entrances, we assess the nest and access routes. Identification comes before a treatment proposal.

Assess species, nest and risk
We assess photos, location, nest access and use of the surrounding area. A European hornet nest in a quiet place does not automatically need treatment. Suspected yellow-legged hornets should also follow the official reporting route.
Agree work and access
Where a nest presents a problem, we discuss professional treatment and any removal. Height, roof access and exclusion zones determine feasibility. Special equipment or work outside normal hours is agreed in the proposal.
Aftercare and further observations
You receive instructions on distance and reusing the area. Report continued activity at the treated nest. A Waarneming.nl report does not automatically arrange free treatment; ask the municipality or province about current follow-up.
Costs and proposal scope
Location, height, access and work method determine the price. A high nest requiring special equipment differs from an accessible nest. Treatment, removal and additional work are specified beforehand.
Preparation and aftercare
Before the visit
- Keep people and animals away; do not climb to a high nest yourself.
- Tell us the height, nest location and access. Do not seal the entrance.
After the visit
- Maintain the agreed safety distance and follow access instructions.
- Discuss new or continuing activity before sealing an entrance or removing a nest.
Practice and agreed work
Example assessment
A nest beside a busy doorway calls for a different assessment from a European hornet nest far from people. The plan lists identification, location, nest height, safe access and possible work. Official reporting of yellow-legged hornets remains a separate step.
Questions about this approach
Where do I report a yellow-legged hornet?
The NVWA directs reports to Waarneming.nl. Include a clear photo and location. Ask the municipality or province about follow-up; Eversor can discuss a separate professional service.
Must a European hornet nest always be removed?
No. Location and potential contact with people determine the response. A nest in a quiet place does not automatically require control.
Do you treat high nests?
Height and safe access are assessed before work is confirmed. Special equipment or another specialist is discussed beforehand if needed.
Is reporting the same as booking Eversor?
No. An official observation report and a paid control service are separate routes. We confirm the work, price and appointment directly with you.
