Soak the area wher they are burrowing with a one ounce per gallon of water solution of malathion, which can be found at the home and garden stores. This mixture is not toxic enough to hurt a child or pet and will degrade from weather and UV sunlight in a short while, so as to not persist in the environment...don't allow this to drift into your koi pond, however, because it will kill aquatic life before it degrades.

Controlling habitat, monitoring perspiration-inspiring activities, and spraying with insecticidal soap are ways to get rid of sweat bees without using chemicals. The insects in question (Apidae and Halictidae families) feed upon salt in human sweat to meet special food chain needs within their life cycles and natural histories. This food chain need within their life cycles and natural histories may be controlled by keeping grass low-mown, removing piled clippings and yard debris, and spraying nests and shelters with solutions of 1:4 dish detergent to water.
