Wasp FAQ for Wheaton

What is the current wasp risk in Wheaton?
Wasp risk in Wheaton is moderate with a score of 43/100. Warm, dry weather drives peak wasp foraging activity.
Wasps in Wheaton become most aggressive in late summer (August-September) when colonies are largest and natural food sources decline. They seek sugary human foods more aggressively.
Wheaton commonly sees yellowjackets (ground and aerial nests), paper wasps (under eaves), and bald-faced hornets. Yellowjackets are the most aggressive near food sources.
