Sit amongst them, they're very receptive to the Dr. Dolittle thing. You will be the Wasp Whisperer.

So don't cut it.

Remember your neigbors are evil and need to be punished.

Park a junk car there and put it up on blocks.

They most likely are looking for a winter home and/or food. What State do you live in?

Probably yellow jackets. Beer in saucers will rid you of the nuisance.

First where do you live, they could be yellow jackets with nests burrowed underneath the lawn. Some people burn them out. Also, perhaps this is caused by climate change and global warming. In that case, you should stop driving your SUV.

Get a bulldozer. No more problem. Come to think of it, no more yard, either.

Get some goats. They will do a nice job on the lawn. Just one problem: they can attract al Qaeda.

well, you could try to get a UN resolution condemning their occupation of your lawn
or maybe you should just try to be understanding...

personally though, I'd just invest in some chemical carpetbombing, like an aerosol yellowjacket and wasp killer. Odds are that thet're yellowjackets with an underground nest, and the lawnmower's vibrations are setting them off. I've had this problem before; try to figure out where they're coming from, then go in and night kill and them all. You might have to go in with an aerosol to take down the ones coming out of the nest and a jet spray for the hive itself. Good hunting.

When yellowjackets are found nesting in the ground, first try pouring a soap and water solution into the entrance. Many types of soap will work, including dish and laundry soap.

If that doesn't work, apply an insecticide into the nest opening. Be sure you use a product that is cleared for use in lawns or soil. Dusts are more effective than liquid insecticides because liquids do not always reach the nest. After you are sure all the wasps have been exterminated, cover the nest entrance with soil.
When treating ground-dwelling wasp nests, use one of the following insecticides: *

* carbaryl (e.g. Sevin) as a dust
* chlorpyrifos (e.g. Dursban) as a dust
* carbaryl (e.g. Sevin) as a liquid concentrate
* acephate (e.g. Orthene) as a liquid concentrate
* diazinon as a liquid concentrate
