Cicada Killers

Are cicada killers dangerous?

Cicada killer stings are less common than stings from many other species of stinging insects because they are less aggressive. Males do not have stingers, and females normally only sting when they are directly threatened.

Contact with cicada killers and other stinging insects should be avoided at all costs since their venom is potent enough to cause major health problems in allergic people. Furthermore, being stung is a terrible and painful experience for anyone!

Why do I have a cicada killer problem?

Cicada killers will take advantage of your yard if it has well-drained, loose soil that they may tunnel into and use to build nesting sites.

In our yards, cicada killers are a common occurrence. The open spaces around our house not only provide them with ideal nesting locations but also with lots of insects to seek and bring back to their growing young. Cicada killers, as well as other insects, are attracted to trash cans, gardens, and standing water.

Where will I find cicada killers?

Cicada killers are a species of digger wasp that feeds, breeds, and nests outside. They nest in a variety of locations but prefer sites with direct sunlight near trees. Other popular nesting locations include:

The soil next to sidewalks, patios, or play structures

• Flower beds
• Gardens
• Lawns
