Wasp FAQ for Wheeling

What is the current wasp risk in Wheeling?
Wasp risk in Wheeling is moderate with a score of 43/100. Warm, dry weather drives peak wasp foraging activity.
Wasps in Wheeling become most aggressive in late summer (August-September) when colonies are largest and natural food sources decline. They seek sugary human foods more aggressively.
Wheeling commonly sees yellowjackets (ground and aerial nests), paper wasps (under eaves), and bald-faced hornets. Yellowjackets are the most aggressive near food sources.
Seal trash cans, remove fallen fruit, inspect eaves for nests in spring, avoid sweet-smelling products outdoors, and call a professional for nest removal near high-traffic areas.
