| Abstract/Contents: | "Twelve apartment buildings with pavement ant activity were identified at MSU. The apartments were randomly selected for a perimeter treatment 1 ft up the foundation, 4 ft out on the turf, and approximately 110 ft in length. Each treatment was replicated three times. A population census was taken on 11 Jul using eight 3-inch-dia petri dishes per structure, baited with 3 ml of 'Aunt Jemima Lite' pancake syrup. The treatments were made on 11 Jul using a compressed air sprayer with a single-cone nozzle. Each treatment was applied to run off (approx. 1.75 gal per structure). Evaluations were made on 17 Jul (the bait dishes were placed in the treated area 4 hours after the treatments had dried), 18 Jul, 25 Jul, 1 Aug, 8 Aug, 15 Aug, 23 Aug, and 29 Aug by placing 8 pancake syrup-baited petri dishes in each of the treatment areas 18 hours in advance and then counting the number of ants in each dish. Chlorfenapyr SC provided control equivalent to the standard pesticide, Chlorpyrifos, with a reduction in ants of 97% 24 hrs after application compared to the control (95% for Chorpyrifos [Chlorpyrifos]). The Chlorfenapyr WP formulation provided slightly less control of ants with a reduction of 65% 24 hrs after application. One month after application (8 Aug) the Chlorfenapyr SC showed a reduction of 82%, the Chlorfenapyr WP provided no control and Chlorpyrifos provided an 87% reduction compared to the untreated control. The log means were not significantly different following 8 Aug." |
