it worked on a previously unmowed for 6 months lawn. And besides, you have no other recourse. You wont get rid of them for ever, but you merely need to get to the stage where new ones are scattered small, to be flattened and the ant eggs destroyed by regular mowings and it all become manageable and liveable with. At the end of the day, you want some ants in the garden, but in areas where they do the best work.
