应用硫氟酰胺毒饵防治红火蚁

应用硫氟磺酰胺毒饵在广西陆川防治25 hm2红火蚁的结果表明,施药后3d蚁巢内即有红火蚁个体死亡.施药后7、14、21d的防治效果分别可达81.5%、93.9%和100%;施药后余下的顽固蚁巢和7d后出现的新蚁巢经再度施药后14d全部死亡;从5月23日到11月25日蚁群全部死亡的5次监测、调查,既诱捕不到工蚁,也没有发现新蚁巢.因此,硫氟磺酰胺毒饵不仅具有高效、快速、安全、使用方便等特点,而且硫氟磺酰胺的应用完全可以取代目前国外普遍使用的二步施药法中的灌巢法.     

氟磺酰胺毒饵使用量对红火蚁防治效果的影响

在确定了氟磺酰胺毒饵对红火蚁控制效果的基础上,就氟磺酰胺毒饵的使用量对红火蚁的控制效果进行了研究。结果表明:在5-25 g/巢的范围内,氟磺酰胺毒饵都可获得较好的防治效果,但防治效果及蚁巢的死亡程度会因施药量的不同而异。5 g/巢的剂量可在40 d内获得平均为96.7%的防效,但不能将所有的蚁巢杀死。10-25 g/巢的剂量可以在30-40 d内使蚁巢死亡,但蚁巢100%死亡所需的时间会因剂量的减少而延长。工蚁数量下降的程度不会因氟磺酰胺毒饵的使用量而产生差异。为此,建议在使用氟磺酰胺毒饵防治红火蚁时,可在10-25 g/巢的范围内根据蚁巢大小调整使用量。     

3种药剂对红火蚁的防治效果

应用0.5%硫氟磺酰胺、0.25%氟虫胺及1%乙酰甲胺磷饵剂在红火蚁高发区防治红火蚁。试验结果表明,0.25%氟虫胺和0.5%硫氟磺酰胺饵剂处理7d后,活动蚁巢数就开始减少,35d后3种饵剂都能达到防治蚁巢的目的。     

硫氟磺酰胺、氟虫腈和苯氧威3种饵剂对红火蚁的防效初探

在红火蚁严重发生地区进行的药效试验表明,0.5%硫氟磺酰胺饵剂投放后15d药效开始发挥,25d后处理蚁巢全部死亡,药后70d调查结果显示,其对红火蚁的校正防治效果高达94.1%;0.001%氟虫腈饵剂撒施后15d开始发挥药效,30d后蚁巢中无工蚁活动,药后70d调查显示其对红火蚁的防治效果为90.9%;0.5%苯氧威饵剂撒施后40d,在蚁巢中仍能监测到工蚁的活动,70d后调查结果表明其对红火蚁的防治效果为84.9%。统计分析结果说明,0.5%硫氟磺酰胺饵剂和0.001%氟虫腈饵剂对红火蚁的防治效果好于0.5%苯氧威饵剂。由于0.001%氟虫腈饵剂和0.5%苯氧威饵剂是实验室临时配制,虽然其对红火蚁的诱食性较差,但仍能表现较好的防治效果。0.5%硫氟磺酰胺饵剂和0.001%氟虫腈饵剂可以用于红火蚁的防治,0.5%苯氧威饵剂配方需要进一步改进。     

几种毒饵对红火蚁的室外诱杀效果比较

选用阿维菌素、吡丙醚、氟虫睛、吡虫啉、毒死蜱和硫氟磺酰胺等6种毒饵在室外对红火蚁进行诱杀效果比较试验,结果表明0.5%硫氟磺酰胺饵剂的防治效果最好,药后7d起效,21d后防效达42.7%,35d后达100%。     

四种毒饵对红火蚁的田间防治效果评价

采用工蚁诱测法和挖巢观察法评价了4种国产毒饵对红火蚁Solenopsis invicta的田间防治效果。结果表明,氟虫胺、胺菊酯、苯氧威、多杀霉素4种毒饵处理后,红火蚁工蚁诱集百分率均明显降低,处理5d后氟虫胺、胺菊酯的工蚁诱集率为0,而多杀霉素处理10d后诱集率为0。施药后25d4种毒饵处理活动蚁巢减退率分别为100%、100%、50%和71.4%,工蚁减退率分别为100%、100%、92.7%和100%。处理6周后蚁群级别分别降低了100%、100%、83.3%、73.0%。     

几种毒饵对红火蚁的室内诱杀药效试验

阿维菌素、吡丙醚、氟虫腈、吡虫啉、毒死蜱和氟磺酰胺等6种毒饵在室内对红火蚁进行诱杀实验结果表明：氟磺酰胺和吡丙醚的药效均属于慢性,较适于作为红火蚁防控根除的诱杀毒饵药剂;阿维菌素和吡虫啉的药效介于急、慢性之间;而氟虫腈、毒死蜱属于急性毒杀药剂,不适于作为红火蚁诱杀毒饵.其中0.5%氟磺酰胺饵剂作为广西红火蚁发生区的面上防治药剂已取得显著控制效果.     

南宁市城区道路绿地红火蚁调查及防效初探

采用目测法与诱测法调查了南宁市城区道路绿地红火蚁发生情况,评价了4种药剂对红火蚁的防治效果。结果表明:南宁市有红火蚁为害的道路占14.49%,青秀区和新建的五象新区红火蚁发生明显重于兴宁区、西乡塘区和江南区等老城区。0.5%氟磺酰胺RG和0.5%氟虫胺RG对红火蚁控制效果明显,药后60 d工蚁减退率分别高达90.04%和88.65%,活蚁巢减退率分别为77.69%和75.57%。5.5%阿维·毒死蜱EC和2.5%高效氯氟氰菊酯EC药液灌巢处理对红火蚁快速触杀效果明显,药后20 d活蚁巢减退率分别高达90.39%和95.83%,而随着时间推移,防效显著降低,药后60 d活蚁巢减退率分别下降至67.53%和58.87%,同时,药液灌巢处理区红火蚁出现蚁群转移现象,处理区域活蚁巢新增率分别为47.00%和104.80%。最后得出南宁市城区道路绿地均有不同程度红火蚁发生为害,且新建绿化区重于老绿化区。两种饵剂控制蚁巢种群效果明显,表现为随着时间的推移,药效逐渐提高,而两种化学药剂对红火蚁种群在短期内具有较强的触杀效果,但随着施药时间延长,药效下降,且出现红火蚁群体转移现象。     

硫氟磺酰胺毒饵防治红火蚁的应用研究

应用0.5%硫氟磺酰胺颗粒毒饵(一扫清)对红火蚁进行毒饵防治,分别用陷阱法、碟诱法和目测法调查防治前、后蚁群的密度、活动数量及空巢率,并评估防治效果。结果表明,陷阱法和目测法调查,投饵后20～30d防效可达100%,而碟诱法调查,防效达100%的时间是60d左右。试验还显示,一次饱和性投饵的防效更可靠,可避免中毒后复活的蚁群在再次投饵时拒食。     

红火蚁克星对入侵红火蚁的防治效果

经过一年来的野外试验,结果表明红火蚁克星对红火蚁具有显著的控制效果。施药后4d,红火蚁全巢死亡率达83.33～92.31%,施药后7～10d全巢死亡。施药后90d和180d监测结果表明,诱测点在6个月内未出现新的蚁巢。     

红火蚁监测盒研制和在集装箱检疫中的应用研究

为了筛选出一种适用于红火蚁检疫和监测的饵剂,设计出红火蚁检疫监测盒,本文在室内试验盒和集装箱内开展诱捕试验。结果表明:以鱼粉、鱼蛋白胨、蜂蜜、花生油按比例组合制成胶状剂型的饵料在1.8m内对红火蚁有较好诱集效果。集装箱试验表明,在虫口密度≥7头/m3时,距虫源释放点3.3m6、.6m、10m处均有诱集效果,集装箱两侧监测盒效果明显优于其他位置,且在6h后诱集虫口数达到一个高峰,可作为口岸检疫应用的推荐时间。带废纸集装箱试验表明,当虫口密度为9头/m3,距虫源释放点约6.0m的监测盒6h的检出率约达71%。因此,推荐在集装箱、汽车或其他运输工具上两侧放置2～4个监测盒,4～6h后检查效果可作为红火蚁检疫及其监测新方法。     

4种杀虫剂对西昌市红火蚁的防控试验

在西昌市试验了4种登记用于红火蚁防控的杀虫剂对红火蚁的田间防控效果。结果表明:茚虫威饵剂施用24 d后对蚁巢和工蚁的平均防效分别为71.5%和96.5%,在另一时间段氟蚁腙饵剂施用23 d后对蚁巢和工蚁的平均防效为62.3%和77.0%,以上两种杀虫剂分别施用5次后对蚁巢和工蚁的防效都超过97%,适合在西昌市推广应用。高效氯氰菊酯粉剂施用24 d后对蚁巢和工蚁的平均防效分别为67.5%和76.0%,其杀灭速度较快,适用于应急防控。     

11种杀虫剂对草皮中红火蚁的检疫除害效果

本文试验了11种杀虫剂对草皮中红火蚁的检疫灭除效果。结果表明,40%毒死蜱乳油30000倍液2、%阿维菌素乳油30000倍液、80%敌敌畏乳油6000倍液4、.5%高效氯氰菊酯乳油3000倍液浓度可完全杀死红火蚁,且对草皮生长没有影响,满足检疫处理要求;其余7种不能达到快速灭除草皮中红火蚁的要求。同时发现,草皮中的红火蚁数量与实际诱集到的数量之间关系符合模型Y=0.0032X-0.59(R2=0.9647,P=0.01)。     

施用茚虫威饵剂后红火蚁的蚁巢迁移及弃尸行为

红火蚁Solenopsis invicta是典型的社会性昆虫, 在防控过程中容易引起红火蚁巢体迁移和弃尸等现象, 影响防控效果。本研究对标记好的蚁巢施用茚虫威饵剂, 然后定时观察新增加的蚁巢数量和工蚁弃尸量。结果表明, 施用0.08%和0.1%茚虫威饵剂后, 所有处理均有新蚁巢出现, 施药后5~10 d, 新蚁巢大量出现, 随后蚁群趋向稳定, 新增蚁巢减少, 至处理后25~30 d, 再次出现新蚁巢。0.1%茚虫威饵剂15 g/巢处理在施药后5 d出现8个新蚁巢, 药后10 d和30 d分别又新增5个蚁巢, 其他时间新增蚁巢数较少。按处理剂量, 药后30 d, 2种药剂15 g/巢处理出现的新巢数量均显著高于25 g/巢处理。0.1%茚虫威15 g/巢处理, 校正蚁巢累计增加率高达124.98%, 0.08%茚虫威饵剂15 g/巢处理为89.05%; 0.08%和0.1%茚虫威饵剂25 g/巢处理, 校正蚁巢累计增加率分别为12.00%和51.34%。施用15 g/巢饵剂后2 d开始有大量工蚁尸体被丢弃, 至药后4 d弃尸量达最大值, 0.08%和0.1%茚虫威饵剂处理弃尸量分别为330.5头/巢和300.2头/巢, 随后呈逐步下降趋势, 至14 d, 弃尸量降至最低。施药后8 d内弃尸量达总弃尸量75.26%以上, 至药后10 d, 已达总弃尸量的90.08%以上。施用0.08%和0.1%茚虫威饵剂25 g/巢的处理新蚁巢出现较少, 表明施用相对低剂量的饵剂, 更容易引起蚁巢迁移。红火蚁的弃尸行为主要发生在饵剂施用后的前8 d。     

A new fire ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) bait base carrier for moist conditions

BACKGROUND: A new water‐resistant fire ant bait (T‐bait; cypermethrin 0.128%) consisting of dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) as a carrier was developed and evaluated against a standard commercial bait (Advion^®; indoxacarb 0.045%) under both laboratory and field conditions. RESULTS: When applying the normal T‐bait or Advion^® in the laboratory, 100% of Solenopsis invicta Buren worker ants were killed within 4 days. However, when the T‐bait and Advion^® were wetted, 70.6 and 39.7% of the ants were killed respectively. Under field conditions, dry T‐bait and dry Advion^® had almost the same efficacy against ant colonies. However, when T‐bait and Advion^® came in contact with water, the former's ability to kill S. invicta colonies in the field was only marginally reduced, while Advion^® lost virtually all of its activity. In addition, DDGS was also shown to be compatible with a number of other insecticides, such as d‐allethrin, permethrin and pyrethrin. CONCLUSION: Based on its properties of remaining attractive to the fire ants when wetted, combined with its ant‐killing abilities both in the laboratory and in the field, T‐bait is an efficient fire ant bait, especially under moist conditions.

Mirex residues in nontarget organisms after application of experimental baits for fire ant control, southwest Georgia--1971-72.

Mirex, the only compound approved for control of the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) and the black imported fire ant (Solenopsis richteri), is normally applied at a rate of 1.40 kg/ha. (1.25 lb/acre). Influenced by recent studies showing that low levels of mirex are toxic to certain nontarget organisms, particularly estuarine species, authors report here on a monitoring study of mirex in three large treatment areas of southwest Georgia. Four formulations of bait were applied aerially in 1971-72. Low-level residues were observed in small terrestrial vertebrates and invertebrates and in fresh-water inhabitants. Levels detected were about the same for all baits. Maximum residues were detected 1-3 months after treatment and gradually declined to low levels of 0.02-1.16 ppm 1 year after treatment.     

Efficacy of Beauveria bassiana against the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), in Taiwan

BACKGROUND: Combining biological control and chemical control could be used for controlling red imported fire ant (RIFA), Solenopsis invicta, more effectively. Beauveria bassiana F256, a local strain from Taiwan, was evaluated for its efficacy in the control of S. invicta under both laboratory and field conditions. RESULTS: The efficacies of different doses of B. bassiana (Bb) using direct application and bait formulation methods were compared. The number of RIFA workers killed by the direct application of Bb or by bait were significantly higher than those of the control, with different rates of efficacy under laboratory conditions. Under field conditions, the direct application of Bb into RIFA mounds was more efficient in inactivating the mounds than the bait application. CONCLUSION: It was shown that B. bassiana is able to control S. invicta under both laboratory and field conditions and can be used as a biocontrol agent against RIFA in Taiwan.
