Abstract

The Nantian-kexing bait,had a significant control efficacy to the red imported fire ant,Solenopsis invicta.The results showed that the attraction effect of bait upon red fire ant was better with time going by.The mortality rates of whole nest ant were 83.33~92.31% and 100% respectively,4d and 7~10d after the bait was applied.The monitoring results were that the bait had a significant control effect to red fire ant in 90d and 180d.No new nest in 6 months when the bait was applied in the fields was observed.
