Abstract
Argentine ants, Linepithema humile (Mayr), have a positive effect on populations of mealybugs (Pseudococcusspp.)in California vineyards. Previous studies have shown reductionsin both ant activity and mealybug numbers after liquid ant baits were deployed in vineyards at densities of 85Ð 620 bait stations/ha. However, bait station densities may need to be
