Wasp FAQ for Crystal Lake

What is the current wasp risk in Crystal Lake?
Wasp risk in Crystal Lake is moderate with a score of 33/100. Warm, dry weather drives peak wasp foraging activity.
Wasps in Crystal Lake become most aggressive in late summer (August-September) when colonies are largest and natural food sources decline. They seek sugary human foods more aggressively.
Crystal Lake commonly sees yellowjackets (ground and aerial nests), paper wasps (under eaves), and bald-faced hornets. Yellowjackets are the most aggressive near food sources.
