 Thanks Lar, it looks like the first picture you posted. The yellow and
black coloring in the second picture wasn't evident to me. Maybe I'll try
setting up a couple of lawn sprinklers in the area and see if that helps.
In the event it doesn't, can the insecticide be purchased at a chain store,
or perhaps garden stores generally carry it?
Any garden center will the insecticide dust. Sevin will work well, but even
if you happen to have or know someone with a flea powder that contains
pyrethrin will work well too. You don't want to "clog" up the hole with the
dust. Use gloves and scatter a small pinch at the opening. You can also but
a dust applicator or use a small "baister" used in cooking, to puff the dust
into the openings. With digger bees, one hole is one nest, they aren't
connected. They do sting, so be wary.
