This is the time of year when everyone loves to come out and play golf. Unfortunately it is also the time of year when ants like to build their mounds. This is very irritating and very unattractive for the course. Since we are starting to see the ant mounds popping up, we decided to treat all low cut areas with a product that will kill any existing ants and prevent any more from building mounds throughout the season. Since we maintain 100+ acres of turf, we can't justify treating it all. We have about 28 acres of low cut turf (tees, fairways, collars, approaches, and greens) that we will treat. We will spot treat the other 70+ acres as needed when we see mounds. We will also be treating proactively around all bunkers to be sure no mounds are built on the edge of a bunker because this will cause the red mound to contaminate the white bunker sand.
Thanks for your support and enjoy this terrific golfing weather.
