    Default Ant mounds in lawns

    G'day all, does anyone have a solution for stopping any mounds in lawns, that's effective. Looks unsightly when you mow over them etc. Thanks in advance.

    Only way is to hose them flat, or drag a weighted flap behind your mower.

    Use a product called Pestxpert available from Bunnings. $40 for a 150gm bottle, not cheap but works. I had a bull ant problem and problem solved. Hosing is a temporary fix and they will come back unless you kill the queen which is what this does.

    Some videos on YouTube you can look up. Obviously client would need to pay for treatment.

    Only if they are ants, a lot of mounds can be worm casting and you don't want to kill the worms.
