Argentine ant eradication trials

This is a pilot study for the Argentine Ant Eradication Protocols designed by The Nature Conservancy, UC Riverside, USDA Agricultural Research Service, and UC Berkeley for the control of L. humile populations on Santa Cruz Island. The project will determine the efficacy of Tango and Optigard Flex Liquid and compare the attractiveness of non-toxic bait matrices to L. humile as a function of season and previous treatment with toxic baits.
