EP:445 | Understanding Fire Ants

On this episode we’re joined by Johnny Wilson, PhD, of Central Life Sciences to explain the invasive red and black imported fire ants (Genus Solenopsis). In the South these tiny ants are everywhere, and we wondered if and how they impact the wildlife we so dearly love.  The short answer is YES, they do! We wanted to learn about how they got here, how they operate, how to deal with them and can we control or at least suppress them without harming birds, reptiles, mammals and even other beneficial insects. We learned a lot and what we gleaned can help us all be better Gamekeepers. Listen, Learn and Enjoy. Central Life Sciences Ant Control https://www.centralantcontrol.comExtinguish https://www.facebook.com/ExtinguishFireAntshttps://x.com/ExtinguishCLS If you enjoyed this Gamekeeper episode, send the guys a message and don’t forget to include your contact info so we can reach you if you win a prize!
