What do you do for too many worms in my lawn? It is all very lumpy .

Looks like they are eating the grass as there is soil showing and very bumpy.
i have added soil and reseeded several times.

    I’m not sure where you live, but in Minnesota, soil like your might have grubs —- and the worms would not be the problem.

    I doubt it's an abundance of worms. More like moles...chipmunks etc

    Treat the lawn for grub.

    Are you sure these are worms? Sounds like moles, worms are usually good for your soil, they aerate it. Please double check to be sure they are really worms.

    To kill grubs in the spring or fall, use carbaryl or trichlorfon. Always wear rubber gloves and rubber boots when applying insecticides to turfgrass. Make sure to irrigate the lawn with at least 0.5 inches of water* and allow the grass to dry before allowing anyone or pets into the treated area.
