USDA Questions Fire Ant Program in Texas and Wildlife Losses
L. J. Padget writes that 5,000 acres out of 400,000 treated this year show wildlife losses from the Imported Fire Ant Program. He notes collaboration with Fish and Wildlife, argues losses are spotty and not significant, and discusses targeted area 30,000 acres in Hardin County needing 2-3 thousand acres treated to eliminate fire ants. He cites Dr. Stoddard on quail impact and disputes Dr. Hays on benefits, urging careful, area-focused treatment to protect conservation.
