The VespaTracker Ecosystem
Digital innovation for
tracking the Asian hornet
In collaboration with:
With the support of:
One solution, deployable worldwide
VespaTracker has optimized the use of tracking tags for locating Asian hornet nests to today’s needs — for its users, society and nature.
We developed one sustainable solution that:
- supports the control of invasive species (today's focus the Asian hornet),
- is built on future-proof technology,
- is deployable worldwide (Bluetooth technology),
- is user-friendly via a unique 'ready-to-use' activation,
- affordable for a wide range of users.
This creates a scalable digital solution that empowers everyone to actively contribute.
The strength of our approach
VespaTracker is more than a transmitter — it is a digitally integrated ecosystem.
VespaTracker's approach is based on two clear pillars:
- Technology: a smart and evolving system in which hardware and software continuously improve — while maintaining its user-friendliness.
- Collaboration: a strong network that connects initiatives, associations, organisations, and governments and promotes collaboration.

Testimonials from testers
"...[the Tag] could be located with meter-level accuracy purely by visually following the screen. In terms of range, the Tag remained visible up to about ~350 meters in a wooded area with dense ivy, more than sufficient range! With this method of tracking, we can really start hunting for nests."
"A very pleasant and very efficient experience. The signal is very clear and leaves little room for doubt. This solution can also be easily combined with a walk with the family. Thanks to the signal strength, you walk straight towards the nest."
"Working with this team was a breeze from start to finish. Their knowledge and attention to detail greatly benefited our project. I am extremely happy with the result!"
"...very impressed!
With one 'ping', we located the underground embryonic
nest of a tagged queen."
