I've got a bunch of these burrowing in my garden. I've been told that they're not aggressive (they haven't been) and beneficial for killing bad bugs. I'm concerned that they're like communists, building massive underground structures filled with pod-wasps who will one day come out and attack.

Any thoughts?

Quit having parties and inviting all your rich single acquaintances.

As far as I know (and I'm not an entomologist, nor do I play one on TV!), diggers are supposed to be solitary wasps, not colonizers, so it's unlikely there will ever be enough of a critical mass of them to cause any major ruckus.
