Bug problem

[stroken04]

If your allergic to them I wouldnt risk messing with them, buy a buddy a case of beer and have him try to get rid of them.

are they nesting in the ground or did they build a nest in a tree

Cicada Killers, maybe? They nest in the ground though.

I can't get close enough to see. The general area I see them is about 40 feet from my deck and any time I step out on the deck, it's just a few seconds before they come up by the house.

They look a little like cicada killers but the cicadas have been gone from here for about 3 weeks.

they like you ... Id spend the $$ and call a exterminator since you may be allergic to them

Flame Thrower will get rid of them. Maybe use your truck and smoke them out. Just stay in the truck and keep the windows rolled up.

Your in Kentucky, all you have to do is get a couple buddies over for a barbeque. After a few cold drinks I bet one of your buddies will be brave enough to go hunt these things down. Oh if you use this method please have video camera ready. We would love to see the reaction.

Starting fluid works good for a stunner.

I wouldn't do that. They'll be on fire then fly into your house thus lighting that on fire.

we have some around here that are like you are describing, but they nest in the ground and are not nearly as aggressive as the ones you are talking about. If they do nest in the ground it will be difficult to kill them with a spray.

IMO go with an exterminator, besides that would be cheaper than a trip to the hospital
