We remove nests and treat pine processionary to protect children, dogs and the trees.
What it is
The caterpillars come down in procession in late winter. Their irritating hairs cause serious reactions, especially in dogs.
Risks
Rashes, breathing problems and mouth injuries in dogs. Also defoliation of pine trees.
How we work
Nest removal, tree treatment and, if needed, trunk barriers. Best done in autumn or winter.
Prevention
Do not touch the nests. Keep dogs away from caterpillar processions and call us.
Frequently asked questions

Yes, with proper protection. We also treat the tree and, if needed, fit trunk barriers.
