Weather takes toll on state wasp population

The stateâ??s wasp population seems to be down this year, possibly because of the wetter spring and cooler summer.

Phil Pellitteri is a bug expert at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He says every summer he gets calls about wasp problems from farmerâ??s markets or outdoor restaurants. He says this year he hasnâ??t gotten any complaints.
