People are in Taoyuan, there are really no beasts in the mountains behind my home

Chapter 82 Killing the fire ants and saving the small mountain village

"Actually, it's not something that can be done in a day or two if you want to eliminate red fire ants."

"Because the number of red imported fire ants in these Yantian villages is extremely high, and this month is also the peak season for red imported imported imported imported fire ants."

"Let's continue the topic just now and talk about how to kill the fire ants." Professor Yi continued after taking a sip of water.

"For the extermination of red fire ants, we usually invite a professional exterminator team to carry out the extermination."

"The first is to put bait, and then deploy a large amount of killing drugs to spray all the nests of red fire ants."

"This can greatly kill the number of fire ants!"

"Like the simple method everyone said, although some RIFAs can be killed, they are all worker ants, and the daily production quantity of queen ants is far beyond everyone's imagination. Therefore, the most important thing is to eliminate queen ants."

"However, spraying drugs, this method is likely to cause some red fire ants to develop drug resistance, so in general, when killing them, the staff will use a combination of physical and biochemical methods."

"As for other questions, I think you can ask Lin Bei. I still need to collect samples of red fire ants for the research center, so I won't continue talking to you." After speaking, Professor Yi took the tools from Zhou Jiang Box, get to work.

Using tweezers, I clamped a few fire ants into the sample bottle.

"Let's catch some around and see if there are any differences in the red fire ants around here. This is also very important for us to prepare insecticides." Professor Yi said to the crowd.

One wandered around this place for more than half an hour before Professor Yi packed up his things and prepared to return to the city.

"Lin Bei, shall we go back?" Huang Jia asked beside him.

"The matter hasn't been resolved yet. Let's be idle. Let's take a look here. I think professionals who kill red fire ants will come over this afternoon."

After some communication, Professor Yi and Director Chen returned to the city to report the situation, and Zhou Jiang and Xie Ze'an from the Forestry Bureau stayed behind with Lin Bei and Huang Jia.

At noon, the village chief of Iwata Village had a meal with Lin Bei and the others at the village head.

Looking at the fifty-year-old village chief in front of him, Lin Bei could tell that he was also an honest man in armor.

Simple and kind, this is Lin Bei's first impression of the village chief.

"Mr. Zhou, how long has it been since the red fire ants appeared? Why did you only report it these few days?" Zhou Jiang asked curiously.

"Leaders, you don't know that our Yantian Village has never had this kind of ants. We introduced some fruit trees last year, and this kind of ants just appeared." Village Chief Zhou was also full of sadness at this time. In my heart, several villagers were stung and hospitalized, and he was almost worried to death.

"Uncle Zhou, you are too polite. We are small employees, so we can just call him Lin Bei! By the way, what kind of fruit tree did you introduce? Where did you import it?" Lin Bei was a little curious.

"Some guavas and dragon fruits in Xiguang, that's all."

"Since we planted these two things last year, the fire ants have appeared."

"At that time, some villagers also said that this kind of ant nest appeared around the orchard."

"We didn't pay attention to it at the time, thinking, what harm can ants do."

"Who knew that this kind of ants could be so fertile! Hey!" The honest village chief sighed.

"Mr. Zhou, although the current situation is serious, it has not reached the point of no return. Don't worry too much. Those experts will work out a solution. People will come from the city in the afternoon," Huang Jia comforted. .

"Yes, Uncle Zhou, the situation has not reached the point of no return. What we have to do now is to temporarily transfer the people in the village, and then have professional workers exterminate the surrounding red fire ant nests." Lin Bei also echoed.

"In our village, except for those young and middle-aged people who go to work in the city, the rest are women, children, old and young, and they rely on this little land and fruit trees for food."

"The crops and fruit trees in this field have been destroyed by red fire ants. Isn't this completely cutting off our village's livelihood!" Having said this, Village Chief Zhou fell silent.

Looking at Village Chief Zhou's honest and simple appearance, Lin Bei felt helpless and sympathetic.

Yes, these villagers are all relying on the crops in this land to live. If the fire ants disaster is not completely resolved, the life of the villagers may be affected in the future. However, the fire ants are already so rampant, can they really be eradicated?

After lunch, Lin Bei was discussing with Huang Jia and Zhou Jiang how to completely eradicate these fire ants.

I saw a few young guys from the village, carrying a few barrels of gasoline, walking to the open space on the side of the road.

One person held a gasoline barrel, unscrewed it, and poured gasoline into the red fire ant's nest, and the other lit a torch, apparently planning to use gasoline to burn the red fire ant to death.

After Lin Bei talked to Huang Jia, he walked to the side of several young people alone and began to watch.

Worker ants kept coming out of the nest of red fire ants that had been thoroughly doused with gasoline. Lin Bei took a rough look and found that there were thousands of them.

Densely packed, all of them filed out from the exit of the lair, ready to protect the lair.

The young man holding the torch saw a lot of ants coming out, motioned for them to push them away, and lit the gasoline on the red fire ant nest with the torch.

There was only a bang, and a violently burning flame burst out from the red fire ant's nest
It immediately devoured the densely packed group of red fire ants.
Crackling, these red fire ants, which are slightly larger than rice grains, were burned by the fire, making a crisp sound.

These young people were very excited, looking at the mound engulfed by flames, they showed long-lost smiles.

"Wang Chun, do you think this fire can burn these ants to death?"

"Hey, didn't you hear this sound? It must be useful!!"

"We poured so much gasoline that we could burn all the ants in this nest to death!"

Several young people muttered.

After the flames were a little smaller, one of the tall young men took out a shovel and shoveled away the red fire ant's nest.

The shoveled mound of soil came into contact with the dense air, and suddenly, the fire became a little stronger.
"Haha, Wang Chun seems to have a good effect. You see, there are not many fire ants in this nest that can survive."

This scene on the roadside also attracted many villagers from the village to watch. Soon, these young people were praised by many people.

Even the audience in the live broadcast room, after seeing this scene, they all enjoyed it and clapped their hands.

"Good guy, these guys can do it, they can think of using gasoline!!"

"This nest is drenched with gasoline, I guess it can burn a lot of fire ants to death."

"This can indeed achieve the effect of extermination, but it is also easy to cause a fire!!"

"Although this method is physical killing, it's better than doing nothing! Give these guys a thumbs up!"

"That's right, it's really good to pour gasoline!!"

After dealing with the first RIFA nest, these young men excitedly set their sights on another soil bag.

It was the same as before, the villagers stepped back a little, and the young man named Wang Chun quickly picked up the gasoline and poured a lot of gasoline.
With the appearance of a scorching flame, the nest of the red fire ant was completely engulfed by the fire! ! !

"Haha, let me say, Luo Bing, Wang Chun, where did you two get gasoline? This method is really good." A middle-aged man in his fifties laughed.

"Yeah, it's said that this school-educated doll is smart, and she's right!!"

"How about we go home and buy some gasoline?? Boil some hot water?! Anyway, idle is idle." Someone suggested.

"I think it's okay. Anyway, there is no good way now. Why don't we use these simple methods and try first." Among the crowd, Village Chief Zhou nodded.

"Then it's settled like this. The girl goes home to boil water, and the boy follows me to the town to buy gasoline. I don't believe that we are so old, and we can still be played to death by this ant!!"

"The village chief is right!! Let's go, let's go together!!"
