These things are killing me in my yard in the city. Grass is mowed down tight and I have treated the yard with a granule bug killer about a month ago. What's the best way to get rid of these little devil spawns?

Sulphur will kill them. I like the powder but the granular works too.

Sulphur works. You can get a liquid called Viper at any feed store. Spray it against the house and grass. Be sure to keep pets off it for a day. It works well.

They are bad this year.

I've heard that once it gets over 95 degrees regularly, they stop.

Permethtin or Permectrin works great, you can get it at tractor supply or most other places, mix at least 1 oz. per gallon,
