Pest controllers across the Netherlands and Belgium are dealing with hornet infestations. In Hasselt, two exterminators were attacked by some 2,000 Asian hornets on a primary school playground, reporting that the insects sprayed venom into their eyes. In Gendt, men in protective suits removed hornets from a tree at a sports park, which has since been declared safe again.
