Lin Tian's family was having breakfast, and Lin Guodong looked at his phone with his brows furrowed.

"Xiaotian, have you found any fire ants in your fields recently?"

Lin Tian shook his head.

"I didn't pay attention. What's wrong? The fire ant disaster is coming again?"

Lin Guodong nodded and said: "Yes, the superiors have issued a notice saying that a large-scale fire ant disaster has occurred in the city next door.

In one village, thousands of acres of longan were divided up by ant colonies. The superiors asked us to check the surrounding area and go to the agricultural science station to collect pesticides.

I have heard from villagers in the past two days that some children have been bitten by fire ants, and I guess they are starting to appear in the village as well, so I need to go and have a look."

"Is it so serious? Then I'll ask Brother Mao to find someone to look at the ground."

After Lin Tian finished breakfast, he called Xu Mao and asked him to pay attention to the situation in the fields.

Two or three hours later, Xu Mao came back to report to him.

“There are indeed nests of red imported fire ants in the forest and fields. I found several of them, but they don’t look like they are out of place.

However, this thing reproduces very quickly, so we need to get rid of it as soon as possible."

Lin Tian heard Xu Mao's report and thought about it. Somehow he remembered the scene that happened in the back mountain. Those macaques used sticks to get the queen out and picked up a nest of ants.

Thinking of this, he had an idea.

“The issue of red fire ants is my responsibility, and I will find a way to rectify it.

But, Brother Mao, please do one thing. Take a picture of the geographical location of red fire ants, preferably at a fixed point, and compile a table.

For specific instructions on how to operate, you can ask Xiaobo."

"Okay, I'll do it now."

Xu Mao has been working with Lin Tian for such a long time and is constantly learning new knowledge. He is already familiar with office software.

On this side of the forest field, go to the edge of the back mountain and blow the whistle to call the red hair out.

He told Hong Mao about the fire ants, and Hong Mao patted his chest and said he could help.

It asked Lin Tian to wait for a moment and ran into the forest.

Soon, it came out, holding several long sticks in its hands and a bulging crossbody bag.

"There are a lot of things prepared."

Lin Tian guessed that its crossbody bag contained grass leaves.

They set out to drive in the fields and forest fields. Hongmao was riding in a car for the first time. He was swaying in the back seat and was very curious about the equipment in the car.

The car drove outside, and Hongmao saw the scenery outside for the first time. He was overwhelmed and lay on the car window, full of interest.

Lin Tian was not afraid of others seeing him. He put a film on the car window so that people outside could not see the scene inside, but people inside could see the scene outside.

Xu Mao had already prepared the form, and Lin Tian took Hong Mao to the first location.

Lin Tian saw that the fire ant nest, the small red mound, had grown to a very large scale.

There are some worker ants wandering outside, carrying food, and their fiery red bodies are particularly eye-catching.

Fire ants are one of the most ferocious ants in nature and one of the "Top 100 Invasive Alien Species in the World".

Fire ants are extremely destructive to human property and plants in nature, and are also a huge threat to animals invading areas.

As far as Lin Tian knows, this kind of fire ant is poisonous.

The characteristic of red imported fire ants is that they will swarm out once there is any disturbance. The number of members in a mature nest of red imported fire ants is at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

Each fire ant will attack the target continuously until the venom in the poison sac is released.

If you are targeted by fire ants, it will be a continuous "group attack", and the pain can obviously be superimposed.

If a person is stung by a fire ant, the burning pain will only start, and then blisters will form on the stung area due to the venom.

Some people with allergies may suffer from anaphylactic shock or even death due to the toxic proteins in the venom.

In the past few years, a major fire ant disaster occurred in Lintian's area.

A large number of fire ants appeared in the farmland, biting many farmers, and some were seriously injured and hospitalized.

For a time, people were so frightened that they did not dare to farm anymore, and farming was abandoned and left uncultivated.

Later, the state stepped up efforts to control red fire ants and finally brought them under control.

Their method of remediation is the pesticide irrigation method, using highly efficient and low-toxic pesticides to pour into the nests of red fire ants.

Lin Tian didn't want pesticides. He thought that to catch the thief first, catch the king. Like the red-haired tribesmen, find the queen and kill it. It would be much easier to deal with other red fire ants.

This method is just his idea, and it depends on whether Hongmao's actions are effective.

Hongmao took out several kinds of leaves from his messenger bag. Those leaves could not be said to be from any kind of plant. They were the bait that Hongmao and the others used to deal with fire ants.

Lin Tian looked at Hongmao with curiosity. Hongmao smashed some of them into pieces, and the mucus was stained on the long stick. Then, it stood in front of the ant nest and gently stretched the stick into the ant nest.

After Hongmao put the stick into a certain depth, he stopped and tilted the stick, as if he knew the location of the queen ant.

The next step was to wait. After two or three seconds, Hongmao gently pulled out the stick.

There were several red imported fire ants stuck on the stick. Among them was a large red ant with a full belly, which was the queen of the red fire ant.

Seeing this magical scene, Lin Feng felt a little incredible.

"It's so simple. It takes just a few seconds to get the queen ant."

Before the red fire ant finished its work, it used two sticks to lure the messed up fire ants to the top, and then crushed them directly to death.

What makes Lin Tian feel amazing is that red fire ants are not afraid of bites. If an ordinary person is bitten, small white pustules will appear on the skin soon.

Maybe it has something to do with Hongmao's ability, which can turn into a hard body like Donkey Kong.

He did not hesitate to praise Hong Mao.

"Hongmao, you are so awesome for getting it done so easily. Let's go to the next nest."

In the following time, Lin Tian and Hong Mao eliminated the ant nests one by one. It took him most of the day to finally eliminate the red fire ants in the land he contracted.

While eating dinner, he saw Lin Guoming frowning, shaking his head and sighing.

“Red imported fire ants are so difficult to deal with and impossible to guard against.

There have been red fire ants everywhere recently, and all the ant pesticides at the Agricultural Science Station have been taken up by other large villages. When I went there, there was no leftover for me.

There are currently more than thirty fire ant nests found in our village, and the wires in the mistress’s house have been chewed up.

I have to go to the agricultural science station tomorrow to see if there is any way to get ant poison."

Lin Tian looked at his father's troubled look and said to him: "Dad, I have a way to quickly get rid of red fire ants without using medicine.

I got rid of all the fire ants in my field today, it’s a very useful method.”

Lin Guoming's eyes lit up.

"What can I do? Let me tell you."

Lin Tian said somewhat mysteriously: "To capture the thief, capture the king first. You don't need any medicine. I have helpers."
