I live in TV 8 months a year now (full time in 2013) and this situation is really driving me nuts! I love my home - a designer with a corner lot - but I'm at a loss at what to do. I'm a widow so please don't suggest any "husband do" stuff...but ANY suggestions would be appreciated....thanks!

Ant hills can really be hard to get rid of. You can sprinkle here, and then two days later, they are somewhere else. hehe But need to be here year round to take care of ants. Some Pest Control companies, come every other month, and some come once a month. That being said, and with the rain we had recently, theres no way the stuff they put down, stayed for a period of time. You can call them back, (and usually they wil come again) and tell them your problem or concern. Brown spots in lawn can be a number of things, but lots of times its burn out, especially if on a little decline. Wish I had a remedy, but if you talk with Plant Clinic at Sheriffs Office on 466 and Morse, they can be very helpful. Also bring in sample of ground (2.00 fee) and they will have it checked for you. Good Luck
