Abstract/Contents: | "[Red imported fire ants] RIFA normally nest in open grassy or weedy habitats and, infrequently, they invade buildings and nest indoors. On at least 3 occasions they have successfully nested in motorized vehicles. This phenomenon may present an additional mechanism for artificial spread of RIFA." |
