Richardson Robeson County Extension Chairman ? A few days ago Rick Gregory with the North Caro lina Department of Agricul ture stopped by to discuss fire ants and their continuing spread in Robeson County. While those individuals down in the southeastern part of Robeson have long been tolerating fire ants, the folks around Maxton and above St. Pauls are just beginning to have the dreaded opportunity to deal with these problem ants. For those individuals who ate unfamiliar with fire ants, these ants are much larger than the normal black ant that is usually a problem in homes, and the ftre ant is sometimes mistaken for the common pith ants that are native to this area. The major difference be tween other ants and the fire ant is that ftre ants congre gate in extremely large num bers in mounds that some times can reach 18 inches in height above the soil surface. Also, their temperament is such that when their mound is disturbed, they respond in large numbers and are quite vicious and fully prepared to bite the offending subject. Since 1 am originally from the southern part of Columbus County, I have often had to tolerate fire ants as I have visited my family. And re gretfully. I have several tiny scars on my hands that are the telltale results of fire ant bites. Since fire ants are quite capable of administering ex tremely uncomfortable bites, it is usually the desire of anyone who encounters them to make every attempt to eradicate them from the gen eTfcl area. However, once es tablished, they are quite difficult to eradicate, and perhaps the best method of approach is to attempt to control them. In a systematic fire ant control program, one should first make positive identifi cation of active fire ant mounds and be sure the ants are actually fire ants. Second, only use an insecticide re commended for fire ant con trol. Insecticides that are nre?;entlv labeled for fire ant. control in fiorth Carolina include: Diazinon. at one ounce per one gallon of water; Dursban, also at one ounce per one gallon of water; and Amdro, at five tablespoons per mound. Thirdly, for liquid insecticides use a sprinkle spout watering can using one ounce of insecticide (Diazinon or Dursban) per one gallon of water as recommended, and for the granular or bait-type insecticides, spread the ma terial over the mound and up to two feet away from the ground. Fourth, do not dis turb the mound before treat ment. Simply prepare the insecticide at the recommen ded rate and approach the mound quietly, then apply the insecticide as suggested, and check the mound frequently for ant activity. Fifth, apply 'the insecticide at the optimum temperature. Fire ants prefer temperature near 72 degrees F with a range from 60 degrees to 80 degrees and are best controlled in that tem perature range. Sixth, make sure that fire ant mounds are marked so they can be avoided by children until the ants are exterminated. While it is important to always follow label directions when applying any insecti cides, for best results when applying liquid insecticides to fire ant mounds, sufficient amounts of water should be used to thoroughly wet the mound that is being treated. Based on our experience over the past few years, retreating of the mounds may be necessary a few weeks following the first application of the recommended chemi cals, since none of the ma terials have shown outstand ing effectiveness when used for fire ant control. However, when used consistently and properly, they do a relatively good job. But, when dealing with fire ants, it is important to remember that there are no miracle solutions that are available for their eradication or control. For further information on fire ants and iheir control, a timely call to the County Extension Office at 738-8111 is advised.
