摘要
Anecdotal evidence suggests that certain natural materials used in landscaping may repel red imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren. The repellency properties of various landscaping materials to S. invicta colonies are addressed in this study. The numbers of S. invicta on or near water-soluble extracts of materials were compared to numbers on control treatments. Sage (Saliva sp.), pine needle, and cedar shaving water suspensions were repellent to S. invicta colonies in the laboratory. Juniper extracts, DEET, neem, and naphthalene may offer short-term repellency and may contribute to integrated pest management of S. invicta in private and public outdoor areas.
