Ants in Lawn

Hi, I was hoping for some help. My lawn is getting ruined by ants nests. I cant stop them from coming back. I have used powders on each nest, I have sprayed the nests with ant killer, I have used diatomaceous earth. The next day I wake up and have at least 10/15 new nests coming through. Any advice would be appreciated

    Hi @marc.saville87 and welcome to the forum  :)

    Have you tried nematodes specific to ants?  They're available online from several suppliers ... this is just one but googling will show you several

    @Dovefromabove no I haven't, thank you very much for the advice, I will purchase and try.

    It won't kill them, but should persuade them to move elsewhere, so hopefully a win/win situation  

    Let us know how you get on  :)

    Any green woodoeckers near you would be delighted to help you lose some of them.
    Put the word out ;)
