    The range of red fire ants has spread to 12 provinces, and the first appearance of red fire ants in China was in 2003. Red fire ants were first discovered in Taiwan, China. In 2004, traces of red fire ants were found in Chinese mainland, and then quickly spread to Guangdong, Jiangxi and other areas.

    Red fire ants, also called fire ants, generally have a burning sensation in the wound after being stung by red fire ants. The origin of red fire ants is Latin America, and the reason why red fire ants are now spreading to many provinces in our country is inseparable from transportation. Generally, because of the circulation of goods with the outside world, coupled with the temperature and climate in the southern region suitable for the growth and reproduction of red fire ants, red fire ants spread rapidly and are spread between many places.

    As a living creature, the red fire ant will definitely have its corresponding nemesis, and its nemesis is the South American fruit fly, which is also from South America. The feeding mode of the South American fruit fly is parasitism, the young urine of the South American fruit fly parasitizes on the red fire ant, and after the larvae hatch, it devours the body tissue of the red fire ant as food**, because the South American fruit fly is inside the body of the red fire ant, and can also control the movement of the red fire ant.

    At present, red fire ants have spread to 12 provinces in China, including Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hainan, Sichuan, Yunnan, Zhejiang, Hubei and other provinces. The invasion of red fire ants will affect the production of agriculture and forestry, and red fire ants can directly harm soybeans, corn, fruit trees and other crops that we usually need. When red fire ants infest farmland, it will directly gnaw the fruit and bark of fruit trees, bite the rhizomes of soybeans, corn and other crops, causing crops to rot directly in the farmland.

    Red fire ants will also cause damage to public buildings such as power communications, signal lights, red fire ants like to tend to heat places, in winter, street lights and traffic lights will have temperature due to shining, red fire ants tend to heat sources, will gnaw the rubber of the wire, resulting in circuit damage, equipment damage. Red fire ants also have a great impact on people, once people are bitten by red fire ants, there will be itching, redness, swelling, burning sensation, severe shock and death.

    The invasion of red fire ants has caused great damage to the ecological diversity of our country, and methods have been taken to control red fire ants, and it is also recommended that we try to stay away from it when we encounter red fire ants, and do not cover it with our hands because it is very aggressive, and if we touch it with our hands, it is very likely that red fire ants will crawl on the body. Don't choose to water it with hot water, because the terrain of the red fire ant's nest is complicated, and pouring it with hot water will not kill it. If you are unfortunate enough to be stung by it, seek medical attention immediately.

    Red fire ants invade 12 provinces! If there is a crop yield or a loss of 40%, how to get rid of red fire ants?

    1. Environmental governance: According to the physiological characteristics of red fire ants, cut off their food, do a good job of environmental sanitation and cleaning up, remove garbage and weeds, and reduce the environmental conditions suitable for red fire ants to survive.

    2. Drug management: Drug treatment is divided into booby-trap and poisoning.

    Booby-trapping: The booby trap preparation method can be used to use the food that red fire ants like to eat, such as peanuts. Bread, biscuits, etc. are added to the carrier with sesame oil (vegetable oil, animal oil) sugar and drugs (such as avermectin, atridine, etc.) to make poisonous bait, or the finished ant killer (the provincial insect production of the ant killer) is put in the place where the red fire ants are infested for booby-trapping, and pay attention not to damage the surrounding environment when booby-trapping, so that it can naturally feed in order to get the desired effect.

    Before booby-trapping, it is necessary to do a good job of extensive publicity, and warning signs should be displayed in the booby trap area to prevent human and animal poisoning. Widespread application of poisonous bait to eliminate red fire ants: This method is suitable for areas where the density of ant nests is large and the distribution is more widespread, or the bait method is used to attract worker ants but the nests are rarely found.

    Cover all locations in the area where the bait occurs. The amount of poison bait is determined according to the instructions for the use of poisonous bait, ant nest density and worker ant density; Comprehensive application and supplementary application of poisonous bait: In the serious occurrence area, when the density of ant nests is large and the distribution is widespread, the combination of prevention and control of single ant nest and universal spreading can be used to apply poisonous bait, and the amount of poisonous bait can be appropriately increased.

    3. Spray ants with commercially available insecticides suitable for indoor use and kill them directly. You can also spray these products where the ants are entering, as well as on their path.

Today, the author will introduce to you the impact of this "invincible ant" and how to deal with it.

    1. Red fire ants can cause serious ecological damage and lead to a serious reduction in crop yields. Red fire ants are very adaptable, and it is easy to form a population advantage, killing all other ants in the local area, and all beneficial insects such as spiders will be eliminated, so that the original ecological environment is seriously unbalanced. Moreover, red fire ants can directly eat the seeds, fruits, shoots, and carry aphids and other pests of crops, causing crops to suffer from pests and diseases, resulting in serious crop yields.

    2. Endangering human health and public safety. Red fire ants are extremely aggressive, will inject venom directly into the human body**, people who are prone to allergies will have symptoms such as flushing, hives, difficulty breathing, etc., if people with severe allergic reactions will also vomit, dizziness or shock, and may be life-threatening if they can't get timely medical treatment. Red fire ants often inhabit electrical equipment such as meter boxes and communication boxes in cities, causing short circuits or equipment failures and causing safety accidents.

    3. Emergency treatment measures after being bitten by red fire ants. If you are bitten by red fire ants, you should first clean and disinfect the wound, add a cold compress, and you can also use topical glucocorticoid ointment or oral loratadine. If it is more severe and becomes a severe patient, dexamethasone or even intramuscular epinephrine is required.

    Last year, a man in Shenzhen was bitten by red fire ants and had a fever of more than 40 degrees, and he was rescued in the hospital for 3 days before he got out of danger, so don't be careless and leave as soon as he encounters red fire ants.

    Red fire ants have a reddish-brown body that is similar to our common ants, with a length of about 3 mm to 6 mm. As ordinary people, we must respond to the country's call for prevention and control, and report to the relevant departments in a timely manner if we find something.
