Imported Fire Ant

Pro-Drone, an insect growth regulator (IGR) with juvenile hormone activity, was aerially applied twice at the rates of 11.86 g AI/ha in large-scale field trials for control of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren. Although Pro-Drone applications produced no significant effect at 3- and 8-months posttreatment, the IGR significantly reduced fire ant infestation after 10 months in southeastern Texas. This product represents the first registered, aerially applied IGR effective against the red imported fire ant.
