jltimm Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I have several spots in my lawn that have ant homes. What is the best way to rid of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdeLakeTom Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I had 3 big hills last year, just poured some Terro on the hills, they were gone in less then a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparcebag Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I've tried 3 different Brands from Menards! All 3 work but only to move the ants! They make new hills 10-15 ft. away,I have 15-20 hills on a 3/4 acre lot,its down to 10 hills I've treated 3 times now,and I'll try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 when I was a kid, my grandparents had a bunch of these ant mounds, all we did was dump boiling hot water on the mounds, it killed them off quick, and it was almost free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstroke Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 It is true that they move locations so its good to find an insecticide treatment that you can apply to the entire lawn, similar to adding fertilizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
