I have been inundated with ants all over my lawn including red ants. How can I get rid of them humanely? does anyone have any good ideas please?

    Hello @helen.warman  and welcome to the forum 😊

     I would get some nematodes for ant infestations. 

    You have to get them online as they have a short shelf life.

    Ants outnumber humans by a million to one; you might have a recurring job on your hands.

    Yes I think you are right Ben, but I've never had them like this before especially on the lawn.

    Is it safe for children to play on the lawn if you have ants especially red ants?
