International Journal of Pest Management 44 (2), 115-117
Abstract: A bait for the control of the leaf-cutting ants Acromyrmex octospinosus (Reich.) and A. cephalotes (L.) is developed, based on dried citrus meal and `fipronil'. One gram of bait consisting of 0.2% fipronil on dried citrus meal, per nest entrance provides satisfactory control of A. octospinosus . Fifty grams of bait at 2.0% a.i. per nest entrance provides satisfactory control of Atta cephalotes .
