The tropical fire ant is a small ant that builds mounds in open, sunny soil. It is native to the Americas, including the Caribbean, but has spread through much of the tropics with human transport. Its venom can cause severe allergic reactions, so it is important to know what it looks like and where it lives.1

Ekhaya
Nests are built mainly in soil in open, sunny areas. They form craters or mounds up to about 60 cm wide and 30 cm tall, with up to about 20 entrance holes per nest. In places where they have been introduced, mounds can be very dense, up to about 2,500 to 3,700 per hectare.1

Indlela yokusibona

  • Builds craters or mounds in the soil, usually in open, sunny places.1
  • Each mound can have up to about 20 entrance holes.1
  • Mounds can be found in groups of 10 to 80 per acre in native habitats, and far more where introduced.1

Amandla obuthi

Ukuhlaba

Ubuthi buphuma ngodosi.

Ubuthi baso benzani?

The venom is a mix that includes the lipophilic alkaloid solenopsin, a fat-loving chemical and a major part of the venom. Its venom is comparable in power to that of the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta). It can cause severe allergic reactions, especially anaphylactic shock, a sudden and dangerous whole-body allergic reaction.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKungaba buhlungu ngempela, kodwa cishe akukaze kube kubi kakhulu.

Its venom is comparable in power and dangerousness to that of the red imported fire ant. Its allergic reactions, especially anaphylactic shock, can threaten human survival.1

Uma sihlaba

  • Geza bese upholisa izindawo ezihlatshiwe.
  • Uma umuntu ephefumula kanzima, ebuso noma emphinjeni kuvuvukala, noma ezizwa ezoquleka, lesi yisimo esiphuthumayo se-allergy: shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo.

Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala

Hlala uphephile

  • Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
  • Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
  • Uma sikuhlaba: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.

Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Amaqiniso

1

Colonies can spread by floating, and new queens can start colonies after a nuptial flight.1

2

Its worldwide range is even larger than that of the red imported fire ant, another invasive fire ant.1

3

It can interbreed with other closely related fire ant species.1

4

It is native to the Americas but has spread across the tropics, largely through human transport.1

5

Colonies can have a single queen (monogyne) or many reproductive queens (polygyne).1
