The fire department may be called upon to assist in cases of existing insect venom allergies or at children's playgrounds, for example. We are only permitted to carry out operations involving
protected insects (e.g., hornets and bumblebees) if the environmental agency of the state capital of Mainz has granted written permission to do so. The client must first obtain this permission.

Interventions involving bees:
You must notify a beekeeper. Beekeepers will check whether the bee colony can be captured and relocated.

Interventions involving wasps:
In this case, the fire department can take immediate action at its own discretion to avert danger. If there is no danger to humans, private companies also have priority here.

Insect control operations can only be carried out depending on the fire department's other operations. You may have to wait. The fire department asks for your understanding in this matter.

In urgent emergencies, please dial the emergency number 112.
