For cicada killer wasps, it is commonly recommended to use Delta Dust in each individual burrow. Cicada Killer wasps thrive in disturbed environments, such as landscaped yards and places where bare soil is exposed. You can discourage the wasps from nesting in your yard by cutting your grass on the highest setting and by adding a thick layer of mulch to flower beds during the Cicada Killer Wasp season. These wasps do not like over saturated lawns either, so over watering during their season will help prevent them. Unfortunately, there is no fool proof way to prevent cicada killer wasps.
We also like to let our customers know that the Cicada Killer wasps are beneficial insects that provide free pest control for a couple months each year. Cicada killer wasps paralyze and provision their burrows with other insects to feed their young. The beneficial Cicada killer wasps, while large and intimidating to see, are mostly harmless and there have been very few reports of anyone getting stung by just being near them. In most cases where a sting was reported, the wasps were being held or molested in some way. Cicada Killer Wasp stings are also reported to be almost painless.

Delta Dust Insecticide is an insecticide dust only and not a bait. While some insects can pick it up and transfer it to others they are in contact with, it alone will not eliminate a colony/nest unless you are directly dusting it or any holes where insects are coming and going. This process can take a few days or longer depending on the target pest and level of infestation.
Per the manufacturer, Delta Dust Insecticide will dry out the insects and they absorb it externally when they come in contact with it. Delta Dust works similar to how a wettable powder affects insects when they walk across a surface that it's applied to. Both have pyrethroids as the active and shut down nervous system. They don't have any research regarding the product absorbing pheromones and odors.
You can use Delta Dust Insecticide for wasps such as Cicada Killers. Keep in mind that this is a residual dust that may take many hours to kill the insects after they contact it. Since these are solitary wasps, you need to treat each hole you see individually for best results. You do not need to apply every day. Keep in mind, too, that these insects prefer sandy soil that is dry, so for longterm control, you may consider adding mulch or topsoil and keeping the area moist while these insects are active in the summer.
If you need something for quick knockdown of flying, stinging insects, then you can use Wasp Freeze for almost immediate knockdown.
