has anyone got a sure fire way to kill dew worms in lawns? I've tried "seven", but they seem to come back.

Sevin seems to be the most common treatment from this source http://www.ext.nodak.edu/extnews/hortiscope/pests/nghtcwlrs.htm worms are nature small roto tillers...they keep the soil some compacting and provide organic nutriets. many people vermi-compost for these benefits.

yes but they play havoc in lawns and cause major damage

Could you harvest then and sell them to anglers? I was so happy to finally find earthworms in my sandy soil that it's hard to imagine having so many that it would be a nuisance. See this link for some steps to take before you apply the Seven: http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/news/newsreleases/2011/april-25-2011/night-crawlers-can-cause-lawn-problems

make sure its not lawn beetle or ants that are playing havoc....they are more likely to cause damage than an earthworm...

I know for sure it's not ants and if it was lawn beetles the "seven" would have killed them

earth worms? I can't imagine them causing a problem. Could it possibly be grub worms?
