There use to be a red ant pile in my front lawn. I used granules to kill it but now my grass will no grow in that spot and it has been over 3 years now. Any idea?

As long as the granular was used according to the instructions, there will be very little risk of harm to your lawn. There could be a fungal infection in need of treatment, which will require a fungicide. This article will help:
