Oak processionary moth
Service description
Contact with the caterpillar hairs of the oak processionary moth can have serious health consequences for humans.
Wherever the oak processionary moth comes into increased contact with people, this caterpillar therefore poses a threat to public safety. This potential danger must be eliminated quickly and in good time.
The oak trees on public streets and squares and in the vicinity of public buildings are inspected for infestation by the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer.
The spiders found are removed by the municipal building yard and disposed of properly.
If you notice an infestation on a public oak tree, please get in touch with the contact person at the public order office.
On private land, the professional removal of the oak processionary moth is the responsibility of the landowner or owner.
