Weeds are coming up thru the lawn like ground cover, and we can't seem to get rid of it?

Question

We've used Scott's Fertilizer with weed control, and it seems like they're growing more and also there are mushrooms coming up now. Plus, not to mention sworm of ants now throughout the grass. What can we do? We've also used Ortho Home Defense for the ants etc and that's worked in the past, but now it seems to not touch the ants at all.

What can we do to get rid of the weeds that coming up like ground cover, and the infested ants throughout the grass????

Any advice and suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

I use weed and feed that you attach to the hose and spray on the lawn every year. I used to have the same problem, i either had the weeds, or was killing my lawn:( Vigoro has done the job for me.

As for the ants and mushrooms, are you not letting the yard dry out enough between waterings? I get ants when I water, and shrooms when I do not let the lawn dry out a bit between waterings. I have had good luck with Sevin Dust for the ants.
