“…Trophallaxis is not the most common insecticide‐dispersing behavior within an LCA colony. Intoxication in these ants occurs through direct contact with toxic baits during processing and incorporation into the fungus garden, by self‐grooming and allogrooming, and by contact between contaminated and non‐contaminated workers, thus contaminating other colony members 24,7,25–27 . Oral trophallaxis in LCAs is very inconsistent and is an unreliable method of exchanging substances between nestmates.…”

“…The bait would not be so processed and distributed, and the insecticide would not spread throughout the nest if many ants involved in foraging die before taking it into the nest, resulting in control failure. The contamination of a great number of workers and, thus, the nest control, heavily depends on the distribution of baits fragments throughout the nest (Catalani et al, 2019).…”

“…Os princípios ativos mais utilizados em iscas de controle de formigas-cortadeiras são as sulfluramidas e o fipronil (Guillade e Folgarait, 2014;Zanuncio et al, 2016;Catalani et al, 2019). As sulfluramidas depois de ingeridas pelas formigas são metabolizadas e liberam perfluorooctano sulfonamida, que é letal para os insetos por interromper a produção de ATP durante o processo de fosforilação oxidativa (Catalani et al, 2019).…”

A sulfluramida das iscas que não são transportadas pelas formigas degrada no ambiente e libera sulfonato de perfluorooctano (PFOS) e fluoreto de perfluroctano sulfonilo (PFOSF) que são substâncias poluentes, bioacumuláveis e que podem persistir no meio ambiente por centenas de anos (Gilljam et al, 2016).…”
