| Abstract/Contents: | "The red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, is a major turfgrass pest throughout the southern United States from Florida/North Carolina to California, Puerto Rico and several South American countries. Experiments were conducted to evaluate bait, drench, dust and granular formulations of insecticides for use as either individual mound or broadcast treatments. Efficacy was evaluated as either individual mound mortality or by monitoring foraging activity. A bait formulation of hydramethylnon provided 87.5 % control of mounds while (S)-methoprene (50%) and fenoxycarb (21 %) were less effective, but all three baits reduced ant foraging significantly. Eight different treatments of bifenthrin (broadcast granules with and without secondary mound treatments) provided from 73.5 to 100 % control of mound within 1 wk and five of the treatments provided > 75 % control up to 12 wk. Also, broadcast treatments of bifenthrin 0.2G plus individual mound granule treatments greatly reduced ant foraging in the plots for up to 12 wk. In another test, chlorpyrifos 1G and lambda-cyhalothrin 0.1G treatments provided 96.4 and 92.5 % control, respectively, for up to 28 d. Ant foraging in plots treated with these two chemicals, however, was not adequately reduced." |
