Fire Ant-Detecting Canines: A Complementary Method in Detecting Red Imported Fire Ants
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2011In this investigation, detection dogs are trained and used in identifying red imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren, and their nests. The methodology could assist in reducing the frequency and scope of chemical treatments for red imported fire ant management and thus reduce labor costs and chemical use as well as improve control and quarantine ...

Trail Pheromone Disruption of Red Imported Fire Ant
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2010The fire ant, Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), is considered one of the most aggressive and invasive species in the world. Toxic bait systems are used widely for control, but they also affect non-target ant species and cannot be used in sensitive ecosystems such as organic farms and national parks.

Yeast biota of the red imported fire ant
Mycological Research, 1996Few researchers have addressed the relationship between the Solenopsis complex and its internal microbiota. Most investigations on the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) are either control oriented or emphasize the species' negative impact on ecosystems. The objectives of this study were to isolate and identify yeasts from the red imported fire

Solenopsis invicta (red imported fire ant).
2021Abstract S. invicta is an ant native to South America. It is an aggressive generalist forager that occurs in high densities and can thus dominate most potential food sources. It breeds and spreads rapidly and, if disturbed, can relocate quickly, ensuring the survival of the colony. S.

Efficacy of Bifenthrin Treatment Zones Against Red Imported Fire Ant
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2003Exclusion of ants, particularly red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta (Buren), from homes, nursing facilities, hospitals, and electrical housings is an important strategy in urban and rural pest control. We conducted a laboratory bioassay to determine the repellency of granular bifenthrin (Talstar: rate 2.087 kg of formulated product/92.88 m2 or 4 ...

Red Imported Fire Ant Foraging in a Greenhouse
Environmental Entomology, 1977Solenopsis invicta Buren workers retrieved greenhouse whiteflies [ Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood)], annelids, sowbugs, mites, springtails, and scale insects. An estimated 15,408 immature and 2588 adult T. vaporariorum /day were removed from Lantana camara plants by S. invicta . Mean rates of movement of ants on the foraging trail ranged 1.96–2.31

Semiochemicals Released by Electrically Stimulated Red Imported Fire Ants, Solenopsis invicta
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2002The red imported fire ant Solenopsis invicta Buren, has evolved sophisticated chemical communication systems that regulate the activities of the colony. Among these are recruitment pheromones that effectively attract and stimulate workers to follow a trail to food or alternative nesting sites.
