Bag/destroy the stuff you removed because the wasp can still emerge and reinfect the plant. There’s likely a few citrus plants around your area that are infected so they could keep coming back regardless. In that case next time you see one of these bulbs use a vegetable peeler to open it up and expose the larvae, this should save your branches
