Wasp FAQ for Portage

What is the current wasp risk in Portage?
Wasp risk in Portage is low with a score of 20/100. Warm, dry weather drives peak wasp foraging activity.
Wasps in Portage become most aggressive in late summer (August-September) when colonies are largest and natural food sources decline. They seek sugary human foods more aggressively.
Portage commonly sees yellowjackets (ground and aerial nests), paper wasps (under eaves), and bald-faced hornets. Yellowjackets are the most aggressive near food sources.
