Asian hornet (Vespa velutina)
Please note
Please only use the traps for the Vespa velutina (Asian hornet).
Please remove other insects and the specially protected Vespa crabro (European hornet) from the traps.
Set up traps in a shady place out of direct sunlight and check them daily.
"The Federal Nature Conservation Act (BNatSchG) § 39 prohibits the willful disturbing, trapping, injuring or killing of wild animals without reasonable cause. This means that setting up wasp traps is only permitted if there is a reasonable reason. So if you want to put up wasp traps, you should make sure that this is done for a reasonable reason, for example to protect against health risks from wasp stings, especially if allergies exist. In other words, protection against health risks from wasp stings is a reasonable reason under the law. When and whether there is a health risk is therefore at the discretion of the observer."
