    Yes Lynredshaw; I too worry about that, having watched a Robin yesterday hopping around the lawn.

    I have seen blackbirds eat ants in the lawn, and wonder if ant treatments do them any harm

    mmm-good questions-my feeling is that a bird is going to have to find a poisioned ant-then eat hundreds- if not more-  to feel any ill effect- if at all -so I wouldn't worry.

  • RED ANTS IN THE LAWN.

    I HAVE TRIED 

    Nemasys no ant kill ants lawns soil nematodes.

    IT IS A LIVE CULTURE CONTAINING SMALL 'BUGS] THAT EAT THE EGGS AND REPRODUCE INSIDE THEM.

    I ORDERED A 3 MOUNTH PROGRAM FROM EBAY, YOU GET A FRESH CULTURE AT 28 DAY INTERVALS, YOU ADD TO WATER AND POUR INTO NESTS.

    SO FAR I'VE DONE 2 DOSES AND THERE IS A MARKED REDUCTION IN ANTS IN THE LAWN. IT IS DEFINITELY WORKING.

    ALL OTHER METHODS I'VE USED WERE USELESS.
