Wasp FAQ for Gary

What is the current wasp risk in Gary?
Wasp risk in Gary is low with a score of 20/100. Warm, dry weather drives peak wasp foraging activity.
Wasps in Gary become most aggressive in late summer (August-September) when colonies are largest and natural food sources decline. They seek sugary human foods more aggressively.
Gary 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.
