Chemicals For Argentine Ant Control, Clee Francis Howard Jenkins, P. N. Forte
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The Argentine ant is one of the most serious ant pests in the world and as such, has been the subject of large-scale control campaigns in several countries.
Early control measures against the Argentine ant in Western Australia involved quarantine of infected areas and the use of arsenical baits, based mainly on the so-called U.S. Government formula.
Since this time the hunt has been on for a more effective chemical, without undesirable effects.
