“…The insecticidal effects of compounds 6e, 6f, 12a and 12b also were tested against S. invicta, an invasive sanitary and agricultural pest that harms agricultural production, destroys the ecological environment, and seriously threatens human health. 40,41 Insecticides commonly used to control S. invicta include hydramethylnon, fipronil, indoxacarb and bifenthrin. These insecticides have rapid toxic effects on S. invicta, but can easily arouse alerting information among worker ants and impede the transportation of baits into the nest.…”

BackgroundAgricultural pests have caused huge losses in agricultural production and threaten global food security. Synthetic insecticides remain the major control method. However, with the rapid development of pest resistance and the increasingly stringent regulations on pesticide usage, the development of efficient insecticides with novel structures is particularly urgent.Results26 novel anthranilic diamide derivatives containing thiazole moiety were designed based on the scaffold hopping strategy. Bioassay results indicated that compound 6e exhibited excellent insecticidal activity against a susceptible strain of diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) with the median lethal concentration (LC50) being 0.65 mg/L, which was similar to chlorantraniliprole (LC50 = 0.53 mg/L). When treated on larvae of Plutella xylostella that were chlorantraniliprole‐resistant, compound 6e showed marginally lower insecticidal activity than chlorantraniliprole (LC50 = 50.45 mg/L and 31.98 mg/L, respectively), suggesting a cross‐resistance of compound 6e with chlorantraniliprole (resistance ratios, 77.6‐fold and 60.3‐fold, respectively). Compound 6e also showed good insecticidal activity against fall armyworm and beet armyworm with the mortalities of pests being 74% and 64%, respectively, at the concentration of 5 mg/L. In addition, compounds 6e and 12a showed delayed toxicity against red imported fire ant with mortality rates being 84% and 85% after 5 days of treatment at 1.0 mg/L, which was superior to chlorantraniliprole.ConclusionThe introduction of thiazole into anthranilic diamide scaffolds resulted in insecticidal leads 6e and 12a with excellent insecticidal activities and potential application in controlling red imported fire ants. The work also guides the discovery of insecticidal molecules with thiazole‐containing anthranilic diamide scaffold.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

“…There is a high content of cinnamyl acetate in cinnamon leaf essential oil and its insecticidal effect is stronger than that of bark essential oil. When the essential oil contained trans-cinnamaldehyde and cinnamyl acetate with a 2:1 ratio, the red imported fire ant S. invicta was affected due to the mixture interfering with antenna morphology and recognition receptors [50]. Cheng et al (2008) indicated that both the indigenous cinnamon leaf essential oil and trans-cinnamaldehyde had an excellent inhibitory effect in controlling S. invicta [51].…”

Ants are one of the largest insect groups, with the most species and individuals in the world, and they have an important ecological function. Ants are not only an important part of the food chains but are also one of the main decomposers on the Earth; they can also improve soil fertility, etc. However, some species of ants are harmful to human beings, which leads to people’s panic or worry about coming into contact with these insects during their daily home life or in their tourism or leisure activities. The presence of ants in indoor living facilities and in outdoor green spaces, parks, gardens, and tourist attractions seriously interferes with the leisure life and entertainment activities of all people (especially children). How can we control ants in these environments? Do we kill them by spraying insecticides, or do we adopt green prevention and control technology for the ecological management of ants? This topic is related to healthy life for the public and the protection of the ecological environment. In this paper, the species and diversity of ants are introduced, and research progress regarding ant tropism is introduced according to the three aspects of phototaxis, chromotaxis, and chemotaxis (i.e., “3-tropisms”). The research on repellent substances from plants and insects and the related ant attractants are also summarized, analyzed, and discussed, in order to help the research and application of green prevention and control technology for ant diversity protection and conservation.

“…However, alternate of pesticides are botanical or biopesticides e.g., plant essential oils are less hazardous to the environment and humans. Due to their remarkable insecticidal and repellent qualities, they can be a great source of pesticides (Xing et al, 2023). Botanicals are more reliable, readily biodegradable, and have less risk of resistance development in red imported fire ants (Chen and Oi, 2020;Xing et al, 2023;Xie et al, 2020).…”

Exploration of effective management technique against Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) has gained the great concern of researchers because of its well-known negative impacts on public health, economic development and native biodiversity. Among various control measures, use of botanical extracts and essential oils are being highly focused because of eco-friendly in nature. Current study explains the effectiveness of three bioactive compounds including Piperine, Azadirachtin, Quercetin and all of their possible combinations against S. invicta workers. Sugar water (20% w/w) was used as solvent for these treatments. Data of mortality were recorded after every 24, 48 and 72 hours. Results revealed that all the treatments caused satisfied mortality in exposed fire ant workers. The mortality was directly proportional to concentrations and time of exposure in all treatments. Among all the treatments, Piperine and its combinations caused highest mortality of fire ant worker. This study will be more useful to future work regarding chemical ecology of social ants. The results of research presented great potential of these biopesticides against S. invicta.
