Treatment may depend on what kind of wasp you have. I live outside of
Philadelphia. One of the local news stations had a segment on Cicada
killers.

My sister is having a problem in her yard with them and as Lar suggested
in a previous message she is keeping the area wet to discourage them. She
has a neighbor whose lawn is mostly brown because of them.
If it another type of wasp that is nesting in the ground, using a
pesticide ( I prefer organic) in the evening when they are all in the nest
will help to decrease or eliminate the wasp population.
Good Luck,
Marilyn

I should have mentioned that this is central New York.

The holes are in part of the lawn that needs reseeding.

Giving the above do you still think I should leave them alone?


Thanks

I have some holes in my garden soil.
They are about 1/2 inch in diameter.
By the amount of the soil piles along side I'd guess they are not very
deep.
I saw an insect by one.
It had orange legs and an some orange and some black near the end of
it's body.
Maybe it looked like a big wasp.

It was filling one of the holes.
I watched as it moved dirt and even pebbles almost 1/4 inch long into
the hole until it was filled.

There are other holes nearby.

What is the insect?

How do I get rid of it and if it buried eggs - the eggs.



Thanks for any help
