aren't they compared to fire ants?

The USDA has given up on Linepithema Humile. With fire ants they have quarantine zones for them and are still trying to get rid of them as they are more of a threat to agriculture and much more.

that's terrible. They shouldn't have given up on the argentines. If we don't do anything, most over ants will be either extremely rare or extinct within the next few decades.

I agree with you I really wish they didn’t stop but because they stopped I would say it’s to late at this point because they stopped trying to fight them. They could try to fight them again but there are so many and would take decades to just make there numbers go down a bit.

I agree, but there’s almost no way they can kill them. Invicta are more of a threat though.

Plus they can still kill them and they are like a fire. They are containing them slowly and there expanding out slowly more and more.

I'm going to respectfully disagree with the invicta stetement. At least where I live, argentine ants are all over. I can't find other ants unless i drive like 40 minutes towards the desert or a remote hiking spot. I don't see many invicta. But it could be a different story where you live.

Where we live there are none. There in like almost all the way down so cal and are kinda being contained. The usda told me they spend millions of dollars trying to kill them every year. Which is a stupid amount of money they are spending just to kill some ants.

I wish they used it better. I think it would have been worth it if they made progress.

The usda came to my house and told me a ton of info on invicta. They came to my house a few months back because I got a invicta queen out of a quarantine zone. I didn’t know the laws for invicta at the time I only had a warning.
