GRADED A+ {ACTUAL EXAM} BIO\ZOOLOGY
What kind of metamorphosis does an ant go through?
Complete
metamorphosis Egg-
Very small
Larvae- Soft, legless, eyeless, white bodies with small heads,
covered with hairs
Pupa- Soft, uncolored, immobile
Adult- Small, red-brown-black, 1/8 to 1/2 inch long
What are the general considerations of ant control?
- Perform surveillance
- Identify ant with a survey
- Bait suspected areas and follow back to nest
- Killing exposed workers will offer temp relief
,How would you do cultural control for ants?
- Good sanitation is the best approach.
- Store food in tight containers (get rid of food source)
- Remove debris from yards (ant infested plants, dead limbs etc.)
- Ensure buildings are structurally sound and have good
ventilation, avoid moisture buildup.
How would you do chemical control for ants?
- Treat nest directly
- Where nests are not readily accessible, baits can be used;
placed along runways and in places where ants are seen
entering and leaving
- Residual sprays can be used as crack and crevice applications
- Establish barriers: spraying a 2 foot swath around building
foundations and inside building
