    Help! Ants are ruining my life.

    Yeah I've never really got the bother about flying ants either, they all appear from under the patio at ours, and it's not a massive patio, so we share. As long as they don't fall into my tea..

    First Lawn Cut of the Year?

    Ha! I could have written this! :biggrin: I don't mow any more as it is too much for my back. I have a strimmer and I wave this around when things get desperate, but mostly I just ignore it.

    Help and advice needed with a lawn please

    If the problem is leatherjackets; then there is a nematode treatment you can water on. Soil temperature needs to be high enough. There is a similar treatment for chafer beetle grubs.
