How to set up a red fire ant pest monitoring site

Pests refer to organisms that are harmful to human life, production and even survival under certain conditions; It is an organism that causes significant damage to captive animals and cultivated crops, flowers, and seedlings due to their large numbers.

Pests in the narrow sense refer only to animals, and pests in the broad sense include: 1) animals; 2) plants; 3) microorganisms; 4) Viruses. According to its hazards, it can be broadly divided into the following categories:

1. Pests that can spread diseases, also known as vectors, such as mosquitoes, flies, fleas, rats, cockroaches (cockroaches), ticks, mites, midges, etc.

2. Non-local (or within a certain natural area) of the original organisms introduced from abroad, animals, plants, microorganisms and viruses that may cause damage to China's ecological environment, such as red fire ants, pine wood nematodes, ragweed, water hyacinth, etc.

3. Pests that harm buildings and building materials, such as termites, wood beetles, etc.

Fourth, storage pests, such as flour beetles, grain borers, etc.

5. Textile pests, such as carpet beetles, silverfish, etc.

6. There are also some organisms that occasionally enter human habitation, causing uneasiness among residents, and can also be included in harmful organisms, such as centipedes and scorpions. cockroaches, etc.

7. Organisms that harm agricultural and forestry crops and can cause significant losses. Such as locusts, aphids, etc.

Pest control is within the scope of business tax, local tax.

Biological control is naturally the best way to prevent the environment from being polluted, but red fire ants contain a large amount of venom in their bodies, and if other animals eat them, they will definitely die. They are small, and large animals have no way to attack them, so they can start with frogs, and maybe there will be a breakthrough.

Red fire ants for control have biological control and chemical control, but the use of chemical control, the effect is fast, but the effect is very low, red fire ants are easy to have resistance, but biological control has a good effect, the natural enemies of red fire ants are Chinese lacewings, Rotilla, etc. can be effectively inhibited.

The natural enemies of red fire ants are lacewings, roticilla, etc., and when red fire ants are found, they can place the "natural enemies" they are afraid of in the surrounding environment, which can effectively inhibit the growth of red fire ants.

Natural predators that breed red fire ants, such as big-toothed ants. Create an environment that red fire ants hate. Let the red fire ants reproduction rate be reduced, so that the red fire ants will automatically leave the environment.

It is recommended to use liquid nitrogen freezing method for prevention and control, and make a special appliance with multiple nozzles, which can be inserted into the anthill to spray liquid nitrogen to freeze all the anthills.

Use plants that have an inhibitory effect on red fire ants, such as Chinese lacewings, or use other ant species that can defeat red ants, so that the two can form a balance to a certain extent, such as the big-toothed fierce ant can defeat red fire ants.

Biological control of red fire ants is the most effective and environmentally friendly method, which can inhibit the spread of red fire ants by placing their natural enemies such as lacewings and Verticillium in the vicinity of their nests.

Verticillium can be widely planted within the range of fire ants, and this plant is not only harmless to humans, but can also prevent whiteflies after processing.

Monitoring time.

Surveys and field surveys are carried out during the red fire ant activity season (April to November).

Monitoring methods. Waste land, farmland ridges, village roads, places close to water sources, embankments, lawns, garbage dumps (heaps), parks, schools, etc., surrounding high-risk areas such as flower and other goods distribution centers (markets, stations, ports, and logistics centers) from epidemic areas are monitored by carpet search visual inspection and bait trapping methods. Surveys are conducted 1 2 times a month to carefully observe whether there are any suspected typical ant nests. If necessary, collect insect samples and send them to the provincial bureau for identification.

Specimen collection. Thread the ham sausage or luncheon meat piece through a wire with a flag, and then insert the wire into the ground so that the ham sausage or luncheon meat piece touches the ground. Generally, after about 30 60min after placement, the ants are taken out, and the time, place, and collector of collection are recorded. After all samples were collected, 70% alcohol was added to the bottle for storage and sent to the provincial bureau for identification.

Epidemic Bulletin.

Red fire ant epidemic found, each monitoring point must be immediately reported to the local plant quarantine agency, the local plant quarantine agency within 2 hours will be the monitoring information express report to the agricultural administrative departments at the same level and the local **, and within 6 hours report to the municipal station, the provincial bureau to the provincial Department of agriculture, special circumstances can be reported directly. The contents of the epidemic bulletin include the time and place of the epidemic, the type of victim host, the number, area, scope, symptoms of the epidemic, the preliminary results of laboratory diagnosis, the control measures taken, and the epidemic reporting unit, reporter and person in charge.

Annual report: Before the end of December each year, the county-level and municipal-level stations will summarize the work of the year, summarize the annual report of epidemic monitoring, and analyze the epidemic situation, and report to the plant quarantine agency at the next higher level.
