The Asian needle ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) has become a well-established invasive species in natural habitats and suburban environments. The objectives of this thesis was to investigate bait acceptance, foraging activity, seasonal activity, and food preference in the field and laboratory. Five hundred ninety-five bait acceptance trials were conducted in the field from August 2020 to September 2022 by randomly placing one granular bait where a worker would eventually encounter the granule. This research indicates bait acceptance is greatest from July to September, and Advance® bait (abamectin), Advion® fire ant bait, and Advion® granular bait (indoxacarb) were preferred over Niban® bait (boric acid). In field efficacy trials, indoxacarb resulted in the greatest decrease in foraging activity, followed by abamectin. Seasonal activity trials using pitfall traps indicated increased foraging activity from June to August and maintained a high level through September, with July having the highest foraging activity. A one-year macronutrient choice assay field study evaluated food preferences for four protein choices: sardine, anchovy, egg yolk, and tuna/sucrose. Results indicated that sardine was preferred over the other choices.
