Frequently Asked Questions

How can these pests be controlled?

APHIS | News
Control of fire ants is made difficult by the protective behavior of the workers who guard the queen. If the colony is disturbed, workers will hurriedly carry the queen to a safe location. There, the queen begins a new colony. Therefore, the best control is not a method that will merely kill workers but a bait that will be taken back to the nest by foraging ants where it will either kill the queen or render her sterile.

How can CU be controlled?

FAQ - ICUS - International Chronic Urticaria Society
The principal approach is to control mast cells, by controlling either the IgE stimulation or the histamine being leaked. Granted, this treats the symptom and not the cause, but until a cause is determined, it is in your best interest to try to gain some control over the symptoms. It's a matter of working with your doctor to find the right combination of medications for you. Because skin contains receptors for H1 and H2, treatment frequently involves taking both an H1 and H2 antihistamine.

Steady plasma drug levels are best achieved by taking the antiepileptic medication as prescribed.
