Stinging insect control

Cicada Killer Control in Exton, PA

Cicada killers are large solitary wasps that dig nests in sunny lawns, sand, and bare soil near foundations. They look intimidating, and the mounds make a mess of the yard. Exton Pest Control treats cicada killer nesting areas in Exton, PA as a one-time visit with a 30-day warranty.

How do you know they are cicada killers?

These are big, noisy wasps that patrol the lawn in midsummer, not a paper wasp nest under the deck.

  • Large wasps hovering over sunny, sandy soil
  • Mounds of dirt and open burrows in the lawn
  • Activity along foundations, walkways, and playground edges
  • Usually one wasp per burrow, not a huge aerial nest

Local flavor: sunny foundation beds and thin turf around Exton Park neighborhoods are common cicada killer real estate in late spring and summer.

How do you treat cicada killers?

We treat the burrows and the soil they are using, then check the surrounding sunny ground so new holes are less likely to open next week.

  • Identification of cicada killer nesting areas
  • Treatment of burrows in lawns, sand, and bare soil
  • Attention to foundation edges where they like to dig
  • 30-day warranty on the treated pest

Are cicada killers dangerous?

They look scary and they can sting, but they are usually focused on hunting cicadas, not on people. The bigger issue for Exton yards is the digging, the kids-and-pets worry, and the fact that a good sandy patch can host a lot of burrows. We treat the nesting ground so the lawn can go back to being a lawn.
