Susceptibility of flexible plastic foodstuffs packaging against Monomorium indicum (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) household ants

"This article is an important study about susceptibility of foodstuff packaging to insect pests. The results show that the household ants have a higher pest status for packaged foodstuffs compared to common stored product pests. The study results recommend the use of polypropylene with a thickness of at least 0.06 mm as foodstuff packaging against household ants compared with polyethylene packaging, which was found to be susceptible to ants even at 0.06 mm thickness. ."
