I have a major ant problem in my yard. I just mowed the grass and I must have come across at least 10, and I didn't even mow the whole back yeard! Every mound was like a Mayan temple. Most were 6-8 inches in height and 10-12 in diameter! and these little guys are killers!! I uncovered one mound with the mower and inside it I saw where they had killed a small snake and were beginning to eat it! The poor little guy was probably just looking for a place to get out of the rain and slithered down the wrong hole. The ants were like, 'Hello... we're gonna eat your head off, k?'
I'm just glad I wore long pants and tall socks... and bites do a number on me.
Later that same day...

The only problem I see here is the huge ecological drain of having grass to mow. :P
grass in important to prevent erosion... granted, mowing it isn't really necessary, until it gets over 8" and the city tapes a nasty letter to your front door...
Vegetation is important in preventing erosion. Grass of the type used in lawns is an archaic status symbol we carried over from England. The American South is no place for such a resource drain.
But that being said, lawns are great for barbecues.
