I have a sandy spot,and they are making holes in the ground to make the nests.They are flying a couple ft.off the ground sparing for a spot. I will not mow this spot I don't think for quite some time.......I saw a queen breeding the other day,and her stinger was at least 1/4 inch long.They are not aggressive like yellow jackets or hornets,BUT they are huge....
Cicadas are great bait for bass. Hook one through the back and throw it down on the water and hold on!
Haven't seen any killers, or heard any cicadas to speak of
How do I get rid of them? I have a rental property with a nest somewhere in the yard. My tenant is terrified of them. She thought they were hornets. I told her they weren't and were harmless unless she's a cicada. But I'd still like them gone.

Our giant bucket-headed mutt thinks that they are delectable.
