Failing that, just do the normal thing, and walk over the lawn
brushing them out with a birch broom. Or just don't worry about them.
You knock out a link of the garden's food chain at your peril: we've
grown out of that kind of thing.

We're gardeners.
We like worms.
Worms are our friends.

I can't see any good reason for killing worms on/in a family lawn. It's
bad enough that grass sports' managers have to do so for the finest of
grasses. Imagine worm casts on a golf green?!
Unfortunately worm killing is an important part of the sport industry.
Below was pasted from Oxford University's croquet site.
I would not have thought that such a trivial sport demanded such fine
grass.

Worm casts however act as sites for weed growth, blunts the lawn mower and
encourage birds on to the lawn. They can start lifting the turf as they peck
at dark spots on the lawn - creating larger dark spots.
The best time to control worms is during their mating season in
October/November when they are most active near the surface. The effective
old method was to use Chlordane which unfortunately is now banned for use in
this country. The more modern solutions are not so effective.

how cruel and self defeating to boot.
Brush the worm cast's back onto the surface and spread them around.
Worms are doing your job for you creating small tunnels underground
providing lovely friable soil and drainage. What more could one ask of poor
little creatures who provide good soil and breakdown waste vegetation, and
provide wild bird food, not to mention frog food.
And all you want to do is annihilate them ???

Am I the only one reading this thread and thinking "This has _got_ to be a
troll?"
I see something like this once in a while and the OP never participates in
the thread.
In the former North American colonies, the only surviving worms are Costeau
fans...

Cold, drizzly, gloomy.... not going to get much sympathy from the Brits, am
I?

Had a look at GardenBanter, and he's just come back, so I think he's
regrettably genuine.

Nope. But think: you could be in Maine!

You don't have to do anything at all, Trailer-trash.

Just let the red red robins come bob bob bobbin' along.

The hungry birds will eat them all up for you.

I'd suggest 5 - 6 tonnes of tarmac! Failing that how about using paraquat!! Or if these methods fail and you're still stuck import 6,000 chickens, that should do the trick.
