I see several cicada killer wasps in my yard. I guess their nests are the large tunnels they keep going into that are in one section by the edge of my property. I have a garden there and they seem to like this area. Do you think they are eating something I'm growing or do they actually eat cicadas? And what can I do to get rid of them? I didn't do anything last year and now they're alot worse. I see alot more nests this year.

I was just reading your article and the treatment suggestions and have a question. Last summer the cicada killer wasps moved into my yard and dug several nests. I didn't treat for them at that time because I didn't know how. After reading your cicada killer wasp article, I'm now ready to get them. My question is, do I need to wait until they hatch and appear again this year to treat with pesticides or can I do it before then? It would be nice to be able to kill the larvae before hand. Last September I put my house up for sale and moved 300 miles away. I would hate for potential buyers to be scared off by these giant insects. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
