Participant__Joe MacGown_____ Institution/Agency Mississippi State University 1) What is the pest status of the tawny crazy ant in your state/area (acres, counties, is it a problem yet)? Yes, the tawny crazy ant is currently a pest in three Mississippi counties, all coastal: Hancock, Harrison, and Jackon. 2) What stakeholders are affected by the tawny crazy ant in your state/area? At this time in Mississippi, homeowners have mostly been affected. 3) What stakeholders could be potentially affected in the near future? Home-owners, businesses such as restaurants, hospitals, nurseries, any business with electronic products (really any business), natureal resource personal at state and federal lands, etc. 4) List any stakeholders or groups that you have worked with or made presentations to on tawny crazy ants. I have been interviewed and/or have had my images used by numerous television, radio, magazine, newspaper, and online media outlets about Tawny Crazy Ants at local, regional, national, and international levels including such media outlets as Fox News, CNN News, ABC news, NBC news, CBS News, Animal Planet (featured on a segment of "Infested), Scientific America, New York Daily News, University of Texas at Austin News, Atlanta Magazine, Huffington Post, WXIA-TV, WTOP, PCT Magazine, CNET News, Science News, Reuters, Smithsonian Magazine, Weekly World News, Turf Magazine, and many others (stories picked up by thousands of newspaper and online sites). I have presented info about crazy ants to researchers from Sam Houston University for a potential collaborative project (not funded), 2011; Mississippi State University at Mississippi Entomological Association Conference (2011); Havard Pest Control (Jackson Co., MS), 2010; and numerous individuals via email or phone. 5) If you have past research or demonstration projects that you have conducted on this pest, list anywhere this work has been shared (journal articles, extension publications, presentations, web pages, meetings, etc).

Surveys and studies of native and alien ant species in the southeastern US; web site development about ants of the Southeast. 7) Do you have a tawny crazy ant outreach program for stakeholders in your state/area? In part; I have a web site with info about crazy ants (and other ants), which enables stakeholders and others to connect me with questions about ants. 8) Have you developed any management plans for this pest for your stakeholders? If so, briefly describe. No, I do not work with management. 9) What types of management are stakeholders currently using in your area to control the tawny crazy ant? Most are relying on PCO's to take care of their needs. Baits seem to be effective, but due to high populations, they have limited use. 10) Are you currently working on any tawny crazy ant projects that are collaborative projects with other researchers? I have supplied specimens and data to John LaPolla for studies on this species and the genus in general; I have been asked to supply specimens for an upcoming project at Texas A& M. 11. Are you familiar with the services the Southern IPM Center has to offer our group? I am not fully aware of what services the Southern IPM Center has to offer. Ask at meeting………………………….. What other info do we need to get a proper pest status. I believe an important first step is to create brochures and a web site to teach the public about this invasive ant and other invasive ants; specifically, how they can be treated and how to not spread them around the region further. Funding from chemical companies to test baits and other management strategies. Need better tracking of the spread of this species. Need to study whether or not this species may spread viruses to plants. What information does the group have about the IPM center and how we can work together? How much collaboration do we currently have? Collaboration seems to be scattered.
