FIRE ANT MANAGEMENT RESOURCE PAGE
The Red Imported Fire Ant (RIFA) continues to expand its territory and has now found its way to areas in North Carolina it was not previously. Due to the increased concern of many individuals that are now dealing with this insect for the first time, N.C. Cooperative Extension held a webinar to discuss RIFAs and their control in areas such as pastures, hayfields, lawns, and landscapes. The web links below include resources from this webinar as well as other documents about RIFAs and products/methods used in controlling them.
