Honestly, this has been one of the best surprises of having a robot mower for the last 4-5 years. I have an early model Husqvarna and it just bounces around the yard randomly. Nobody ever mentioned some of the perks that come along with these things back when I did a bunch of research but the first perk is that my dog's poop gets run over repeatedly which makes it break down extremely fast. I can actually tell if there is a fresh pile because anything older than a day has already been run over a couple of times (most likely). The other unforseen perk is just as great in that I live in Georgia (near Savannah) and if you have been to the South, you know that fire ants show up all over the place. I've tried all types of solutions to get rid of them but they are resilient and new colonies form overnight. Well, because ants are an extremely intelligent insect, they respond to their colonies being disturbed by swarming. Of course, by the time they get their ant hills run over and attempt to retaliate, Lawn Swanson (the name of my mower) has already gone on about his business somewhere else. Because he continues to run over these hills, the ants determine that it is not a safe environment to maintain a colony and leave. Having the mower run around the yard about half of the day cuts down on the fire ant population by about 90% in my yard and I'm very ok with that.
I'm going to update my original post in the hopes that folks who might read it can get the more well-informed perspective and not the ignorant one I originally put out there.
Again, thank you for bringing this to my attention. My family is moving into a brand new home in about 6-8 weeks and you have just saved me from polluting that entire yard. I really do appreciate the respectful way you asked these things and now I can only hope I didn't influence anyone else to use robot mowers in the same way that I have.
