little fire ant - Wasmannia auropunctata (Roger) (Roger) (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Prior to the advent of chlorinated hydrocarbons, organophosphates, and carbamates the little fire ant, (Roger), was a problem in Florida. The use of persistent pesticide chemicals reduced the populations of the ants until they were no longer a menace. With the reduction in the use of these persistent pesticide chemicals populations of little fire ants have been allowed to increase, and in some areas, to develop into a serious problem.
