[0002] Red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) are originally from the Parana River Basin in South America, known for their extreme aggressiveness. When they bite, they quickly inject venom, causing severe pain, allergic reactions, and even possible shock or death. In addition, red imported fire ants not only invade homes, destroy crops, and damage cable equipment, but also cause significant damage to urban infrastructure and agricultural production. The threat of red imported fire ants to forestry is also not to be underestimated. They destroy the ecological balance of forests and harm biodiversity by preying on invertebrates and biting vertebrates. In addition, red imported fire ants pose a safety hazard to forestry workers, increasing the cost of forestry management and control, and posing a serious challenge to forest ecology and forestry economy. Therefore, effective prevention and control of red imported fire ants is particularly important, and red imported fire ant monitoring is a critical step in red imported fire ant control. Accurate and good monitoring can provide scientific basis for red imported fire ant control measures and help control the spread of red imported fire ants and their impact on the ecology.

[0003] Existing red imported fire ant monitoring methods include the tread method and the ground trapping method. The tread method locates the ant nest by visually observing the ant hills or red imported fire ant activity tracks on the ground. It is difficult to find hidden or less active ant nests, and the detection success rate is low. Therefore, the tread method is usually only used as a preparatory stage to help confirm the monitoring area range. The ground trapping method uses bait-containing collection tubes for monitoring.

The bottom end of each positioning plate 3 is hinged with the lower end of the side wall of base 2, and the upper end can be turned over along the hinge point to make multiple positioning plates 3 fold into a cylindrical structure. Limiting ring 4 can use elastic sleeve or non-elastic sleeve, which is sleeved on the outer side wall of the upper part of the cylindrical structure to keep the positioning plates 3 in the folded state. Multiple bait fixers 1 are installed on the inner side wall of multiple positioning plates 3 at the upper end to fix the bait.

[0029] When the device is used, the limiting ring 4 is removed to release the limiting of the positioning plates 3, so that the positioning plates 3 are unfolded to the lateral side of the base 2. The bait is placed on the positioning plates 3 in different directions at the same time and fixed by the bait fixer 1. By using the same directionality of the multiple ant roads left by the Solenopsis invicta when feeding on the base surface, the direction of the ant nest is accurately positioned, which helps the monitoring personnel to find the ant nest more quickly and accurately. The device has a simple structure, is easy to operate and store, and has high ant nest positioning efficiency and high detection accuracy.

[0030] Specifically, the base 2 is a multi-prism structure, and multiple positioning plates 3 are arranged corresponding to multiple side walls of the base 2, so that the positioning plates 3 can be arranged as straight flat plates, which can be attached to the flat monitoring base surface after unfolding, facilitating the Solenopsis invicta to reach the bait to feed on the bait.

[0031] Specifically, it further includes a box cover 5, which is covered on the top end of the cylindrical structure. When the limiting ring is a non-elastic sleeve, the box cover 5 is further fixedly connected with the top of the limiting ring 4 to form an integrated connection structure, which facilitates disassembly and realizes sealing of the positioning box at the same time, prevents the inside of the box from being polluted by the outside during storage or transportation, and affects the attraction effect.

[0040] Embodiment 3:

[0041] The embodiment provides a method for positioning a red imported fire ant nest, which comprises the following steps:

[0042] 1. Preparing bait:

[0043] Ham sausages can be used as bait. Before monitoring, the ham sausages are cut into small pieces with a thickness of 3-5 mm and stored in a preservation bag.

[0044] 2. Arranging an auxiliary positioning device:

[0048] Specifically, according to the monitoring results, the following cases can be divided:

[0049] (1) For the device without forming an "ant path", it indicates that the probability of the existence of an ant nest within 15 m around is low.

[0050] (2) For the device with an "ant path" formed, the more ant paths formed, the higher the probability of the existence of an ant nest within 15 m around, and the greater the opportunity to locate the ant nest through the ant path.

[0051] For the device with an ant path formed, the direction pointed by multiple ant paths, i.e. the direction of the red imported fire ant nest, can be successfully positioned through tracking the ant path. After the ant nest is positioned, the ant nest can be killed according to the method described in sections 5.2 and 5.3 of the "Red Imported Fire Ant Chemical Control Technical Regulations" (NY / T 2415); if the nest cannot be located through tracking the ant path, an auxiliary positioning device is additionally arranged in the direction pointed by multiple ant paths or at the break of an ant path, and the above operation is repeated after 15-30 min of placement and waiting for the formation of a new ant path, until the ant nest is successfully located.
