Expert interpretation

In recent years

Zhao Li, the curator of the Chengdu Huaxi Insect Museum, told Red Star Journalists that the red fire ant is a foreign invasion species. It is native to South America and is wet and hot. She especially likes to build nests on the wet lawn of the soil, such as a large lawn near the lake. In such an environment, Chengdu's new green space is more "metal."

In recent years, many places in Chengdu have discovered red fire ants, which has nothing to do with temperature rise. Red fire ants are tropical species. Earlier, in Sichuan, it was discovered in Panzhihua and Xichang, and it has gradually changed north.

As a foreign species, the red fire ants will bring serious ecological disasters to the invasion land. "Basically, in their sphere of influence, no other animals and plants can live." Zhao Li said, first of all, the red fire ant will destroy the local ants that invade the land. The community causes ecological chain to break; second, the red fire ants are eaten with the seeds, roots and fruits of a variety of crops, causing crop output to decline, and wild animals and plants are also difficult to escape "poisonous hands." At the same time, red fire ants will also damage the irrigation system, bite livestock, cause agricultural losses, and even bite cables and damage public facilities electronic instruments.

For humans, red fire ants have the ability to aggressive and repeat the thorns. If someone accidentally stepped on the ant nest and the red fire ant was disturbed, it would quickly get a strong attack. When being bruised, most people only feel pain and uncomfortable. A few people are allergic to toxic protein in venom, which will cause allergic shock and danger of death. If blisters or pustules are damaged and do not pay attention to cleaning and hygiene, it is easy to cause bacterial secondary infections. "The ingredients of fire ant toxin are 95%of alkaloids and a small amount of water -soluble protein. These alkaline ingredients have hemolysis and cytotoxicity, and the protein components in the venom can cause local or systematic allergic reactions." Zhao Li said that he was also being being bys. The red fire ant bites, it hurts.

How to prevent

A variety of drugs can be killed but it is difficult to wide

For the treatment of red fire ants, Zhao Li said that a variety of drugs can be killed, and some professional companies can deal with it. If there is a red fire ant appearing near the residential house, the ant nest is poured directly with boiling water, or the drug -oriented drugs can also be achieved.

Red fire ants are destroyed, but why is it difficult to "break the roots"? Zhao Li said that the large -scale red fire ant is difficult to kill, because the ant nest is underground, it is hidden, it is difficult to be found, and as long as it exists, it will spread again.

The scope of the red fire ant's heat to the heat is 3.6 ° C to 40.7 ° C, and the maximum foraging rate occurs at 22 ~ 36 ° C."The extremely high temperature weather some time ago just allowed the nest under the soil to reach the most suitable for red fire ants from 22 ° C to 36 ° C." Zhao Li said.

Zhao Li said that he should try to avoid stepping on or approaching the ant nest to prevent the fire from being attacked.In the area where the red fire ants are coming, they should also be careful to prevent being attacked by fire ants when picking up the items on the ground.
