Hi Rosemarie, this sounds very interesting. I have yet to see any course involving municipalities and sustainability. I tried finding the link through the University of Colorado without success. Could you publish the link so as to make it easier to register. Thanks and good luck for the course.

Re: Research or Information on Sustainable Methods of Dealing with European Fire Ants
2009-04-24 12:18:04 UTC
Hi Lisa, I don't know if we've had the priviledge to speak before. I'm a consultant to many municipalities on issues pertaining to alternative to synthetic pesticides and have written a book on the subject (Le guide complet des pesticides à faible impact). Although I haven't worked with fire ants, most ants can be controlled using diatomaceous earth (contact-dehydration) sprinkled ont the mounds and on their paths and of course borax (mixed with a sweet attractant such as peanut butter , jelly or liquid sugar) A good commercial mix is Safer's Attack witch you probably already know. Now how borax works is taht it needs to be eaten by scoutting ants and taken back to nest to feed the queen and workers, if you keep at it for a few weeks, the whole colony will be decimated. Just keep putting fresh borax mixture into the traps so they dont run out and you may have to move them around so ants continue to go back and feed as they will start figuring out that this food should be avoided.
Hope this helps, I'll keep an eye out for more specific info. Good luck.
