Abstract

The preliminary results about the effects of the juvenile hormone analogs, fenoxycarb, and methoprene, on the ant Paratrechina fulva (Mayr) an introduced species in Co­lombia are presented. Monogynous colonies treated during the fourth week in the laboratory, presented a significant reduction in size six weeks after treatment. This reduction was the result of worker mortality and a decrease in egg production by the queens.
