Solution

The Article 1 is relevant as it is more on the Paratrechina longicornis, and the information is coming from reliable source like a educational resource. The article 2 is relevant as it is a descriptive of Paratrechina pubens also referred as Caribbean Crazy Ant, but the source of the information is from exterminators so a very cautious approach should be taken. Article 3 is from a weird source of a crazy newpaper and not credible.
