How it works

From report to end-of-season review

Every report follows the same path, whatever channel it came in through. The steps follow on automatically once the intervention is closed.

  1. 01

    Report

    Public form with no account, apps, town hall, WhatsApp, Telegram, email, trap QR code, widget on a town’s website.

    Resident, town hall
  2. 02

    Verification

    The species is identified from the photo: wasps and European hornets are set aside, duplicates merged.

    Coordinator
  3. 03

    Confirmation

    The nearest available referent goes on site: height, access, danger.

    Volunteer referent
  4. 04

    Removal

Personal data

Residents’ addresses stay protected

Privacy policy
  • Each organisation only sees the reports in its own area, season by season.
  • Public maps never show a nest’s address: points shifted by 80 to 150 metres, aggregated by town.
  • A company only receives the exact address and the reporter’s contact details after accepting the intervention.
  • Hosted in the European Union, with a history of changes kept on every record.
