Why are they suddenly trying to create a hysteria about a bug that we have dealt with for decades. I remember them as a child in the 1950s. Nothing to panic about as they do not sting or bite.

And from what I have seen, they are not nearly as strong as they used to be, except in rural areas. When I was young, when they emerged, they were LOUD and everywhere. Less and less each time since. I suspect that in the city and suburb it’s all the lawn chemicals and lack of old-growth trees.
