| Abstract/Contents: | Details pest control supervisor Craig Dennie's method for fire ant control. Explains that "fire ants prefer to build nests around goal posts, near bleachers, along dugouts, in sidewalk cracks, and near HVAC [heating, ventilation, and air conditioning] equipment." Suggests developing thresholds for ant mounds in order to determine whether control applications are necessary. Mentions the use of insect growth regulators and granular insecticides for control. Emphasizes the potential importance of communicating with maintenance staff, teachers, and the public regarding plans for ant control. |
