I run over them with the golf cart and mower. Over time I have less and less.

Here an article from LSU Ag that works. Make sure to wear rubber gloves.

Eta: I had them bad about 3 years ago. I put 2 tablespoons in each hole and step on the mound. I’m down to have 3-4 mounds every couple of months pop up. I saw 2 or 3 yesterday when I was cutting because of all the rain but didn’t treat them. I’ll catch them this week before I cut again.

i had like 20

nothing else worked but this, pour an ounce of gasoline down the hole and it kills them. the gas fumes suffocate them, and the gas kills them if it gets on them. wait until next day to knock over the clump so it holds the gas fumes down in the hole better.

after first treatment i went from 20 to 6, next i added another shot of gas to the remaining mounds and never saw another one and its been 4 years straight with no more.

and doing this wont kill any grass at all unless you spill the gas
