Late-summer wasp outbreak in Edmonton and surrounding areas leads to increased aggression and stings.
A late-summer wasp outbreak in the Prairies, particularly in Edmonton and surrounding areas, has led to significantly higher populations. Contributing factors include a favorable summer for nurturing larvae, hot July weather accelerating growth, and scarce food sources causing wasps to seek human food. This has resulted in increased aggression and a rise in stings. As temperatures cool, wasp activity will decline, with most dying off except for a few hibernating females.
