| Abstract: | *[Brazil shows a high diversity of urban pest ants. Among its 2,000 recorded ant species, 20 to 30 species are urban ants (tramp species). Native & introduced species are found & are not equally distributed in its 27 states. Camponotus species are found in the 5 regions that divide the country. Tapinoma melanocephalum & Paratrechina longicornis are the species which cause more complains by Brazilian citizens. Ant diversity in households is diverse reaching a total of 23 species in a unique hospital. This is the fact that leads to failures in controlling the pest species.] |
