Several Cicada Killer Burrows
Along the edge of the sidewalk and throughout the landscape were a number of cicada killer wasp burrows. Cicada killers are solitary insects, meaning they nest alone, and choose to nest in well-drained, light-textured soils in full sunlight that are near trees harboring cicadas.
Look Terrifying
Cicada killers are large wasps, approximately 2 inches in size, and get their name from killing cicadas in order to reproduce their larvae. They may look deadly and dangerous, but in reality, they aren't aggressive and rarely sting unless they are grasped roughly, stepped upon with bare feet, or caught in clothing.
Now for Treatment
For treatment, we injected a residual dusting product into every single cicada killer wasp burrow.
Cicada Killer Wasps Exterminated
