Okay not quite farming but someone on here I'm sure will have the answer to my problem I hope.
My lawns front and rear are full of ants, (red ants) there is so many you can pick any spot on the lawn take the turf up and they are there.
Was hoping to spray them with ficam W but conflicting reports on if this is harmful to cats? several cats about the place including one of my own so just keeping my own in doors for a few days isn't enough.
Making my own ant killer with Borax and some sort of sugar/honey mix to attract them is a possibly but borax is still harmful to cats etc
Now I don't care about the lawns (already sprayed the back one off with roundup) as they are going to be re turfed although I was hoping not to do the front one this year as got enough to do in the back garden!
Clearly I don't want ant hills in my new turf so how do I get rid of them when they are every were in it!
