It's tough since they live in the ground but below article has some good suggestions. If it is a smaller area and dry, I would dust the ground, cover with clear plastic, secure the edges and when they emerge and try to escape they will contact the dust which should reduce the adults. this method will also give you a better idea of the actual population you are dealing with.

I'm pretty sure you can kill a cicada with a hammer or a blow torch, but the most common way to kill a cicada is with a stick or your shoe.

There are not any true natural enemies of cicada killers. Cicada killers have a very powerful sting that most birds and other animals can't handle.

Without cicadas the wasps can not reproduce. You could collect them by hand, it is impossible to collect alle the larva because they live inside cicada's.
