The best method to get rid of Funnel Ants is to eradicate the ant colonies in the lawn. There can be many ant colonies in the yard.

All the ant colonies need to be treated for long term success.

The treatment contaminates the foraging ants who then transfer to other ants in the colony and in this way they take the treatment back to the nest and queen.
