Abstract:

Appeared since less than a decade, the Asian hornet invaded the Western Europe and has a direct impact on biodiversity as it contributes to the colony collapse disorder. The approach presented consists in a system of eradication based on their thermal weakness. As chemical pesticides and insecticides are prohibited in Europe, the method presented here, using electromagnetic microwave radiation is original and orientated to be environmental friendly and in favor of sustainable development.
