The dilemma.

摘要

This paper describes the ant behaviours and control based on finding the nest followed by either application of a toxicant directly to the nests (parent and satellites) or by utilizing the workers to transfer the toxicant to the remainder if their nestmates by means of bait or by transfer of sprayed material. However, the identification of the pest ant is the first step in deciding whether a management or control protocol will be most effective.
