Each year we seem to be getting an increasing problem with little

From a distance it looks like we've got mole hills but on closer

they're definitely ants.

It has all started to get quite ugly and a problem

Anyone got any tips?


Can't you just get a rake disturb the nest with it and then pour the
ant powder stuff over them as they scurry around? Try that a couple of
times and see if it reduces their population.

Look - stop ****ing around with boring proprietary stuff
Pour half a pint of cellulose thinners on it and set fire to it
the toxic fumes will sort your problems and provide a modicum of
entertainment at the same time

But will it kill the ants underground? (the queen) ?

When I tried it, yes

The centre of the lawn had been raised by about a foot

After pouring the thinners on top and setting light to it, I didn't see
another ant for ages

Fairly heavy toxic fumes
