A nest of red imported fire ants has been discovered at the Enfield Intermodal Logistics Centre in Sydney’s inner west, triggering a major biosecurity response.

“Fire ants are one of the world’s worst invasive species, with the ability to severely impact our environment, economy, agricultural industries, health, and Australian way of life,” according to NSW authorities.

The nest has been treated and no other nests have been found at the site, while teams work with nearby businesses and residents to monitor for any spread.

Exterra is the world's No. 1 termite colony elimination system. Thanks for the shout out Green Pest Control Services in the Philippines.
"Exterra Above Ground Stations are the preferred approach when termites are already in your home. Exterra termite bait is placed in the safe and sealed station when it is installed. Termites feed on the bait and take it back to the colony, where it is fed slowly throughout the entire colony. Termites die gradually. Above ground stations speed up the process of colony elimination. Exterra baiting system is safe for humans, pets and the environment. It is non-toxic."

It's been a mystery for decades: how do piegons navigate?

It appears that immune cells in the liver are key to their navigation skills. Macrophages accumulate iron when breaking down red blood cells, which provides them with magnetic properties. Their interaction with the earth's magnetic field appears to provide pigeons with their navigation skills. Remove the macrophages and the birds struggle to find their way home.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising navigation system in pigeons: iron-filled immune cells in the liver that may act like tiny magnetic sensors. Birds deprived of these cells struggled to find their way home under overcast skies, indicating they rely on Earth’s magnetic field for guidance. The ...

Researchers have found that caffeine sharpens an ant's mind - at least when it comes to locating food.

Ants feeding on food containing caffeine learned the location of the food far quicker than the location of food without caffeine, making the foraging process more efficient. Ants demonstrated a reduction in foraging time to food containing caffeine by up to 80%. This was not due to walking faster but rather shortening the distance to the food.

The researchers believe caffeine has potential for boosting the performance of ant baits.

Caffeine doesn’t just perk up humans—it can sharpen ants’ minds too. Invasive Argentine ants given caffeinated sugar learned to find food much more efficiently, taking straighter paths and reducing travel time by up to 38%. They weren’t faster, just more focused, indicating improved learning...

Shout out to Barbarian Pest Management on the Sunshine Coast and Ensystex's Greg Lawrence, who tagged along for this job.

2 x REQUIEM 175g termite bait sachets were installed in a client's house after mudding was discovered all over the client's boots. One bag was installed directly onto the workings in place of the boots. This was then covered over with black plastic to keep the area dark. Another sachet was placed inside an ENSYSTEX Above Ground station near the feeding front.

Thanks Conan, for letting us come along on this one with you! Keep an eye out for the results!
