Wasp FAQ for La Crosse

What is the current wasp risk in La Crosse?
Wasp risk in La Crosse is high with a score of 60/100. Warm, dry weather drives peak wasp foraging activity.
Wasps in La Crosse become most aggressive in late summer (August-September) when colonies are largest and natural food sources decline. They seek sugary human foods more aggressively.
La Crosse 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.
