Pests We Treat Photo Album: Cicada Killer Wasps Take Over Parking Lot in Deal, NJ
Lots of Cicada Killer Wasps
Along the edge of the sidewalk, underneath the entrance to the front office, and throughout the parking lot were a number of cicada killer wasp burrows.
Large Insects
Cicada killers are large insects, about 2 inches big. Also, they're solitary insects, meaning they nest alone, and nest in well-drained, light-textured soils in full sunlight. How did they get their clever name? From killing cicadas in order to reproduce their larvae!
Make Structures Unstable
During the burrowing process, female cicada killer wasp can displace several pounds of dirt making a big mess and damaging the roots of plants. Additionally, they can dig in areas near walkways which can make some structures unstable.
