I've just got the grass cut at the house I've bought. I reckon it hadn't been done at all this year (and possibly not last year either). I've got ruddy great ant hills. Thought they were mole hills at first, they're a good foot across and high enough to stall the mower. There must be over dozen of them. I'm unable to identify if they're red or black, as I presume the little blighters are sleeping. At my old house I'd just stamp them down when I cut the grass. That wouldn't eradicate them completely, but seemed the most effective way of keeping them in check.
Anyone had any success at controlling them, nematodes foe example? I've never tried them.
