CEU Course Description

Ant Control CEU Training Course
Ants live practically everywhere, but are most abundant in warm climates. There are about 10,000 kinds, or "species," of ants. Within each species there are usually many different types. Ants are social insects that live in colonies and are some of the most successful insects. Fire ants are nuisance insects. They sting humans, their pets, and their livestock. They also cause electrical outages in air-conditioning units and other electrical devices. Mowing can be hazardous due to the mounds the ants build and the stings inflicted. Their aggressive nature makes them easy to identify. Killing fire ants without understanding the basic biology of the insect can be difficult. The red imported fire ant (RIFA), Solenopsis invicta, is the species of fire ant that is causing problems throughout the southeastern U.S. A native of South America, RIFA is similar to other ant species. At the center of every mound or colony is a queen or queens. If you want to kill the colony, you have to kill the queen. Eradication of this pest is not possible, but we can learn to minimize their impact on our lives. Through the use of an education program, ant problems can be minimized.
