Ants fukking up my lawn.
Gonna try granules to eliminate the nests. Anyone tried boiling water? I've read it's a popular non-chemical option.
I’ll get ants too, popping up in different times of the year and typically around the perimeter. I’ve been treating them with chemicals tho. I think some people use tobacco as a natural/organic insect control. They soak it in water and spray in gardens and whatnot
Not sure if ants have a bad impact on lawns, but I recently I’ve noticed birds frequently picking at and into my turf, long after reseeding earlier this year so I don’t think it’s seeds/seedlings they’re after. I think they’re feeding on some kind of bug. I read about grubs that feed on the grass roots, and seems consistent with some of my slowed growth, so I applied Sevin granules to control the insects and hoping to see the lawn get more vigorous growth in the back yard. That product has varying reviews on its efficiency for for grubs tho, but I applied it as a catch all. I also notice those “rolly polly” bugs usually around weed roots when I pull them up. Been dealing with what I think is some kind of lawn parsley weed recently that has long roots and spreading like crazy. Pulling that shyt up like regularly now, didn’t have it last year
