Ants
Ant Control for Lawns
Is your lawn infested with ants? This is a common problem in Surrey, and we are frequently asked to remove ants from our customers’ gardens.
In early Spring/Summer the soil starts to dry out and ants start becoming a problem in lawns. Ants can cause a variety of problems in your outdoor space, but most notable are the mounds of soil that the colonies produce. These can create raised spots on the lawn, which then get ‘scalped’ during mowing – that is, most of the grass plant is removed, creating bare areas for weeds or moss to colonise.
Unfortunately, all the effective commercial ant products for lawns have been banned, and what remains is not very effective in my opinion. (if you do have a legal and effective solution, please email me...sales@mrlawn.co.uk).
The residual products that were available, are extremely effective at killing ants but also all other insects coming into contact with your treated lawn.
How to Treat and Prevent Ants in your lawn.
The ants’ mounds of fine earth should be allowed to dry out, then brushed vigorously with a heavy-bristled brush to sweep the soil particles evenly across the lawn.
Next, a trowel should be used to dig into the nest. Apply ant powder deep into the nest, then replace the soil/grass. This approach is more effective than spreading the ant powder on the surface of the lawn (which risks scorching the grass).
