Answer

What is the best way to remove processionary caterpillar nests in Mallorca?

The most reliable methods are professional removal with protective clothing, vacuuming the nests, or carefully timed biological treatment. Some municipalities also use pheromone traps or other targeted approaches. Simple knocking-down methods may move the problem rather than solve it, because the hairs can remain dangerous.
