| Abstract/Contents: | "The red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), is a major exotic invasive pest ant currently inhabiting 14 southern U. S. states and territories, and has recently been detected in parts of Australia, Taiwan, China and Mexico. In large areas of infestation such as the southern U. S., integrated pest management (IPM) programs have been developed to suppress population levels where justified, and natural enemies are being established for sustainable suppression. In California and Australia, efforts to eradicate localized populations or contain further spread continue to be considered or implemented. Programs conducted by The Texas A&M System's AgriLife Extension Service provide an example of outreach education of the general public about fire ant management and assessment of the impact of these efforts. The web site use data and meeting participant survey results demonstrate the acceptance of fire ant management information and strategies." |
