bee or wasp

I went outside this morning and found 6 sandy hills between the grass and sidwalk where some wasp or bee has dug and apparently made a nest underground. I did see one, it looked like a bee or wasp, about 2-3 inches long and about as big as my pinky. Any idea what it is or how to get rid of it?

Can you send me photos of the insects and the area you found them?
