| Abstract/Contents: | "Rough harvester ant control was evaluated in an urban forest park in the city of Albuquerque. Treatments were randomized within blocks and replicated 6 times. Ant mounds were checked for activity, selected and marked, and counts made on active ants on and in the clear area of each mound prior to treatment. Applications were made on 17 Sep under calm, sunny weather conditions while ants were active (4:00-5:30 pm). All dry treatments were made by sprinkling measured amounts of each formulation on the mound areas around the entrance hole only. The Orthene drench was applied in 3.78 liters of water sprinkled over a 0.37 m2 area around the center of each mound. All treatments except Award significantly (P= 0.05) reduced ant activity. The Award bait was observed to be readily taken into the colony, therefore bait shyness did not appear to be the limiting factor." |
