you're going to say I haven't a sense of humour - I have - but I am
trying to get some positive advice, not just be entertained!



I buy stuff that foams and you spray with a 9 inch straw into the nest and
hold for a few seconds. The foam gets into the passages of the ant nest and
kills the population with very little effect on the lawns root system.

This is one of the foam products. It may only be available in Canada, I
dunno. it's really pricey but effective.

Yes, I can probably get that product, so will give it a try. Trouble is, I don't know where the ant nest is. All I have are about 30-40 anthills in my lawn. Still, I could try spraying the stuff on all of them and see what happens. Many thanks for the helpful suggestion.
