What product can I buy to kill the worms in my lawn ?

I have a lovely lawn but this time of year I get a big problem with
worm casts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can't see any good reason for killing worms on/in a family lawn. It's
bad enough that grass sports' managers have to do so for the finest of
grasses. Imagine worm casts on a golf green?!
Unfortunately worm killing is an important part of the sport industry.
Below was pasted from Oxford University's croquet site.
I would not have thought that such a trivial sport demanded such fine
grass.
Best Wishes Brian.

Worm casts however act as sites for weed growth, blunts the lawn mower and
encourage birds on to the lawn. They can start lifting the turf as they peck
at dark spots on the lawn - creating larger dark spots.
The best time to control worms is during their mating season in
October/November when they are most active near the surface. The effective
old method was to use Chlordane which unfortunately is now banned for use in
this country. The more modern solutions are not so effective.
