We prevent the oak processionary caterpillar by ensuring that natural enemies such as insects, birds and bats have space. We also suck out nests. Report a nest in the public space of Hilversum, so that we can remove it.
What do you need to know

- We remove found nests as soon as possible by vacuuming them
- Places where people are for a longer period of time have priority in checking and removing the nests. Think of schools, playgrounds, cemeteries and important cycling and walking paths
