Lin argues that because the cannibal ant is a native species, raising it in the lab and training it to eat fire-ant larvae would be a more appropriate means of biologically controlling Taiwan's fire-ant population than would importing the fire ant's natural predators.
由於是本土種，透過實驗室「培養」牠們吃紅火蟻幼蟲的食性來做生物防治，比引進外來種天敵抑制紅火蟻適合。
