Application of the 4X bait was designed to give a coverage of 4.2 g mirex/ha and was delivered by aircraft, helicopter or tractor. 1x and 2x bait were also used. Use of mirex as a pesticide was banned in 1978. The Stockholm Convention banned production and use of several persistent organic pollutants, and mirex is one of the "dirty dozen". [3]
Formic acid (from Latin formica 'ant'), systematically named methanoic acid, is the simplest carboxylic acid, and has the chemical formula HCOOH and structure H−C(=O)−O−H. It is an important intermediate in chemical synthesis and occurs naturally, most notably in some ants. Esters, salts and the anion derived from formic acid are called ...
Solenopsin is a lipophilic alkaloid with the molecular formula C 17 H 35 N found in the venom of fire ants (Solenopsis). It is considered the primary toxin in the venom [2] and may be the component responsible for the cardiorespiratory failure in people who experience excessive fire ant stings. [3]
These insect alkaloids can be efficiently extracted by solvent immersion of live fire ants [4] or by centrifugation of live ants [185] followed by silica-gel chromatography purification. [186] Tracking and dosing the extracted solenopsin ant alkaloids has been described as possible based on their absorbance peak around 232 nanometers. [187]
The red imported fire ants don't have many natural predators in Southern California, except for phorid flies. The key to killing a local colony of red imported fire ants is using a combination of ...
Published in the SCI journal Pest Management Science, the study showcases how the CyberDog robot, equipped with an AI model, can efficiently automate the identification and control of red imported ...
Abamectin, is a member of the avermectin family and is a natural fermentation product of soil dwelling [1] actinomycete Streptomyces avermitilis. [2] Abamectin differs from ivermectin , the popular member of the avermectin family, by a double bond between carbons 22 and 25. [ 2 ]
