Any suggestions how to remove ants from couch lawn ? Have tried the granules from bunnings but i find as i put that down, a new nest hole comes up a metre or so away from the one i poisoned. I was considering buying a Poo load of the granules to dust over the lawn as I've just top dressed it so lawn hasn't thickly covered the sand yet. This would be pretty expensive though i think 165m2 of lawn. Very very annoying as they put raised holes all over the place. Any suggestions ?
Hi Jim,The best product will have a chemical called "Fipronil"in it.I think you would need to get it thru an Agricultural store.It's expensive but people in my area usually buy it as a group and devide it.Important to use as directed it has a low application rate so it will last along time.The ants can't sense it so they carry it all thru their nest to the queen.We have a big problem with funnel ants in my area and it's by far the best.Some commercial operators will offer between a 3 and 5 year guarantee
Thanks guys ! Is this something i would only apply to an ant hill that comes up or would i lightly spread it over entire lawn ? Im assuming that because they can't sense it i only need to apply it on and around the ant hill. I'm not sure if the bunnings stuff they are sensing and moving or if its actually killing them.
