| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the northern and western expansion of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta. States that "despite quarantine efforts aimed at preventing the movement of fire ants, it is not uncommon to find that imported fire ants 'jump ahead' of the natural distribution due to movement of infested products." Describes the damage the fire ant mounds cause to turfgrass and equipment. Discusses control strategies, stating that "total elimination of the red imported fire ant in fully infested araes is not technically, or economically feasible. Temporary control of fire ants can be acheieved with the use of chemicals; however they must be periodically reapplied for as long as control is desired." Also discusses how to treat individual mounds, suggesting granular products, dusts, injectable products, and mound drenches. Concludes that "managing imported fire ants requires a multifaceted strategy." |
