Argentine ants are one of the most common nuisance pest ants treated by pest management professionals (PMPs) in southern and western urban residential areas of the United States. Two new technologies (spraying with a pheromone adjuvant and using a biodegradable hydrogel bait delivery method) were used to develop a unique low-impact integrated pest management (IPM) protocol for Argentine ants in urban residential settings. The IPM protocol included a one-time perimeter spray treatment with 0.03% fipronil (mixed with a pheromone adjuvant) at the beginning of the ant season to achieve a quick knockdown. The initial spray application was followed by a biodegradable hydrogel baiting with 1% boric acid as a maintenance treatment. This low-impact IPM protocol was compared with two other conventional methods: (1) one initial fipronil application and one pyrethroid spray application for maintenance, or (2) one initial fipronil application and one essential oil insecticide spray application for maintenance. Based on Argentine ant foraging activity, the protocols were compared for their control efficacy. Insecticide use information and treatment time were also recorded and compared among different treatment protocols. Our results provided empirical data to support the effectiveness and economic feasibility of the low-impact IPM protocol for managing Argentine ants in urban residential settings.

在城市住宅环境中控制阿根廷蚂蚁(膜翅目:蚁科)的低影响 IPM 策略的开发和示范

阿根廷蚂蚁是美国南部和西部城市居民区害虫管理专业人员 (PMP) 处理的最常见的有害害虫蚂蚁之一。使用两种新技术(喷洒信息素佐剂和使用可生物降解的水凝胶诱饵递送方法)为城市住宅环境中的阿根廷蚂蚁开发了一种独特的低影响综合害虫管理 (IPM) 协议。IPM 方案包括在蚂蚁季节开始时用 0.03% 氟虫腈(与信息素佐剂混合)进行一次周边喷雾处理,以实现快速击倒。最初的喷雾应用之后是可生物降解的水凝胶诱饵,其中含有 1% 硼酸作为维持处理。将此低影响 IPM 协议与其他两种常规方法进行了比较:(1) 一次氟虫腈初始施用和一次拟除虫菊酯喷雾用于维持,或 (2) 一次氟虫腈初始施用和一次精油杀虫剂喷雾施用用于维持。根据阿根廷蚂蚁的觅食活动,比较了这些方案的控制效果。还记录了杀虫剂使用信息和治疗时间,并在不同的治疗方案之间进行了比较。我们的结果提供了经验数据,以支持在城市住宅环境中管理阿根廷蚂蚁的低影响 IPM 协议的有效性和经济可行性。还记录了杀虫剂使用信息和治疗时间,并在不同的治疗方案之间进行了比较。我们的结果提供了经验数据,以支持在城市住宅环境中管理阿根廷蚂蚁的低影响 IPM 协议的有效性和经济可行性。还记录了杀虫剂使用信息和治疗时间,并在不同的治疗方案之间进行了比较。我们的结果提供了经验数据,以支持在城市住宅环境中管理阿根廷蚂蚁的低影响 IPM 协议的有效性和经济可行性。
