The red fire ant is a type of ant. It has strong reproductive and destructive power and contains venom. Currently, there have been incidents of red fire ants injuring people in 12 provinces in my country. Therefore, how to eliminate it has become a topic of concern. So what are the three enemies that the red fire ant fears the most? Why doesn’t the country eliminate red fire ants? Attached are the detailed reasons! 1. What are the three enemies that red fire ants fear the most? The three enemies that red fire ants fear the most are BASF Kairui ant bait, yellow dragonflies, and anteaters. In addition, they are also afraid of parasitic flies, fire, mint, leek, coriander, laundry detergent, white vinegar, lemon peel, grapefruit peel, etc., as follows: 1. The three enemies that red fire ants fear the most: BASF Kairui ant bait. Red fire ants fear BASF Kairui ant bait the most, because BASF Kairui ant bait was developed by BASF of Germany and is mainly used to kill red fire ants. In addition to killing red fire ants, it also has a good killing and luring effect on fine-striped house ants and broad-headed ants. In addition, red fire ants are also afraid of insecticides such as spinosad bait, pyriproxyfen bait, fipronil bait, and carbaryl wettable powder. Generally, in places where red fire ants are present, you can use 30 grams of 85% carbaryl wettable powder, 30 grams of 50% propoxur wettable powder, and 30 grams of 2.8% cypermethrin emulsion, add 30 kilograms of water and spray it on the anthill. 2. The three most feared enemies of red fire ants: yellow dragonflies. Yellow dragonflies are the natural enemies of red fire ants. Generally, after the spring rains, using yellow dragonflies to prey on red fire ants has a relatively high killing efficiency. 3. The three most feared enemies of red fire ants: anteaters. Red fire ants are most afraid of anteaters. Although anteaters have no teeth and their jaws can only open about 1 cm, anteaters are very efficient at eating, and their long sticky tongues can pop in and out of their mouths 160 times in one minute. Therefore, anteaters can eat 30,000 ants or termites a day, and other small insects, larvae or pupae are also their food. 2. Why doesn’t the country eliminate red fire ants? The country actually has plans to exterminate red fire ants, but they have strong reproductive abilities and are an alien species. Their Latin name means invincible ants, and they currently have no natural enemies. They are recognized worldwide as one of the 100 most dangerous invasive species, so it is a bit difficult for my country to prevent and control them. All regions and departments can only work together in a coordinated manner. The specific reasons why the country does not eradicate red fire ants are as follows: Reason 1: Red fire ants have strong reproductive capacity. Red fire ants have strong reproductive capacity. Generally, they enter the critical season of reproduction and natural spread in spring. After mating, the male ants will die after a period of time, and the queen ant will lay 10-15 eggs within 24 hours after mating. The eggs will hatch after 8-10 days. After the first batch of eggs are hatched, it will continue to lay eggs. Within one month of mating, worker ants will begin to appear in large numbers, and the size of the ant nest will gradually expand. After about 180 days, the number of worker ants can reach thousands. The second reason why the country does not eradicate red fire ants: Red fire ants have a wide distribution range. According to the data shown on the official website of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, as of 2021, red fire ants have occurred in 6.321 million mu of 534 counties (cities, districts) in 12 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) in my country, an increase of 641,000 mu from 2020, an increase of 11.3%. There are 128 new county-level administrative regions with outbreaks, and the situation of spread remains severe, so prevention and control is difficult. On May 6, red fire ants appeared in villages and fields in Rongjiang New District, Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, and some people were injured. The third reason why the country does not eradicate red fire ants: there are few pesticides for prevention and control of red fire ants. Up to now, there are 8 kinds of pesticide active ingredients and more than 40 kinds of pesticide preparations that can be used to prevent and control red fire ants. However, due to the strong destructive power and attack power of red fire ants, they can not only build nests in infrastructure, causing short circuits in wires or facility failures, but also use the chelicerae at the end of their abdomens to continuously sting humans and animals, causing people to feel burning pain, followed by blisters and suppuration, etc. Therefore, when encountering them, you can only stay away from them, do not disturb them, and let professionals deal with them, which makes prevention and control very difficult. Summary: The three enemies that red fire ants fear the most are BASF's Kairui ant bait, yellow dragonflies, and anteaters. In addition, they are also afraid of parasitic flies, fire, mint, leek, etc. The country does not exterminate red fire ants because they have strong reproductive capacity, a wide distribution range, and few pesticides for prevention and control. At present, when you encounter it, you can only stay away from it, do not interfere with it, and let professionals deal with it. |
