CICADA KILLER WASPS

The Cicada Killer Wasps are back again on their annual hunt for Cicadas. You may find them pretty much anywhere on the property but they seem to prefer #13 and #16 fairways, the bunkers, and the practice bunker green at the driving range. They are wasps and can sting but are not aggressive and pose minimal threat to humans. Their damage to the golf course is caused by their burrow digging - specifically the little piles of soil that are left behind. We are on a control program and their numbers have been greatly reduced but, as with previous years, I anticipate they will be a nuisance for the next several weeks. For more info on the Cicada Killer Wasps, check out this post from summer 2014.
