STOP Vespa — an ICNF government platform for reporting Asian hornet nests
A platform run by the Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests (ICNF): you mark on a map where you saw a hornet or a nest and attach a photo and a description. The reports are used to track the spread of the species and to remove nests, which is the job of the municipalities. It works on a phone, and you don't need to register to make a report.
Where you come across it. You've found a nest near your home, in the garden or in the wall of a rented flat.
This is a reporting tool, not an emergency service: if the nest has already been disturbed and someone is unwell, call 112 rather than posting on the platform.
