Imported Fire Ant Survey

Nursery inspectors, the state survey coordinator, and/or extension specialists will conduct visual surveys and/or a trapping survey using baited canisters, as necessary, to determine locations of fire ant mounds around the detection sites at Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, Lake Barkley State Park, and Kenlake State Park. In addition to these known locations, recreational and lakefront sites throughout western Kentucky, nurseries, and other possible infestation sites should be surveyed to verify that no other mounds exist and become established.
