Hired assassins

I believe my back yard has been infested with these wasps does anyone know how to get rid of them? Do they sting?

No one has characterized our heavy reliance on ash trees for suburban yard and street trees in te midwest (and elsewhere) as a "relentless march." While there are perfectly good reasons to regret the arrival and spread of emerald ash borers, they are not an army of invaders intent on pillage and territorial gain. They are insects increasing in population, with no intentions at all, and no geographical awareness-- just an instinct to disperse and a fortuitous juxtaposition with usable resources. Describing their advent in military terms is a political ploy, not a horticultural solution.

No matter how carefully it is planned, release of biological controls always has unforeseeable risks, especially in the long term that politics has generally abdicated responsibility for. A short term improvement may have long-term consequences. There are no pat answers or easy solutions to these problems in a society based on free movement of people and materials.

KRW: The parasitic wasps that are being released for EAB management are very small, and no, they do not sting. They do not look like the 'typical' yellow jacket or other insect that is commonly referred to as a wasp. The only way your backyard could be infested is if your backyard was infested first with EAB.

Oh sure first its wasps to get rid of EAB. Then it will be Small birds to get rid of the wasps. Then it will be cats to get rid of the birds. Then it will be packs of wild dogs to control the cats. The it will be mountain lions to get rid of the dogs. C'mon Ohio !! Wake up !!
Where does it all end? Nuclear devastaion? Dont you guys watch movies?
