IPM is a good responsible choice and products like soapy water or diatomaceous earth.

This was his post..................................
On the way home from getting a subway sandwich, while riding my CT125 trail bike, I saw a glimpse of black and red before it hit me directly in the throat.
For a brief moment, I thought, please don’t let that be a tarantula hawk….then the reality set in as it stung me just above my collar bone!
They are not joking when they say it hurts so bad that you loose the ability to walk!
Got off the bike, beat my chest like a gorilla, then fell down, in a world of pain.
So dizzy I was unable to stand or walk for about five minutes!

Well. That Wikipedia link is some lovely nightmare fuel. I sincerely hope these bad boys and girls stay in Arizona, unlike some of the other bugs that seem to be creeping further and further north...Could be worse...............

Where have all the wasps gone?
Outdoor activities are usually plagued by wasps at this time of year, but 2024 has been different.

Been stung by a spider wasp that I stepped on with bare feet. Like most wasp stings, the pain from the sting goes away after 10 minutes - the pain from that sting knocked me to the ground. Quite a bit of swelling follows.Could be worse............... Guy on another forum lives in Arizona where they have Tarantula Hawk wasps.

Not a recommended experience.
Just one season, that nest will be empty by late fall.
I won't let it hang that long..
Will be coming down tonight.
Just tell the local kids it is a pinata...
