Abstract/Contents: | Discusses ants on putting greens, explaining that they "[create] unsightly soil mounds that disrupt the playability and uniformity of the putting green surface as well as on tee boxes, and it can cause physical damage to the precision mowing units." Suggests that "spraying putting greens provides only temporary suppression of mound-building ants. Surface-applied, contact insecticides only kill workers foraging on the surface, and often fail to eliminate the queen located underground in her next chamber." States that "insecticides such as the neo-nicitinoids including thiamethoxam...and chlothianidin (Arena) have been shown to provide up to 12 weeks of suppression." |
