Prebait and bait stations should be placed in the exact same locations..’ Placement of prebait and bait should be directly associated. with rodent burrows,. harborage and feeding areas. Post surveillance should be conducted immediately after the conclusion. of the baiting cycle. Unconsimed baits should be retrievedwithin 43a 72 hours of their placement to limit contact with non target | organisms. The process of cleaning up the islets by engineers will itself haveSee, _ an «impact on’ rodent populations by significantly reducing harborage. 7 2° (= and food sources. This combined integrated control should significantly reduce, but not eradicate the rodent population. Continued surveillance will be required along with "rodent proofing" of buildings. Critical prebaiting, baiting and post surveillance should be conducted by certified pest control personnel (MOS-91S, civilian or engineers) under the direct supervision of a professional entomologist. Thereafter engineering personnel will be adequate to maintain control. : . L. eR. Manpower and time requirements will be directly proportional to the number and size of the islets selected for control. If control is required for the base camps of Lojwa and Enewetak only, then approximately seven - fourteen days will be required utilizing seven pest control personnel and one Entomologist. so, ; he Control on most or all of the islets may require a minimum of 21 people (20, 91's, 1 Entomologist) and a period of 3 - 4 weeks. Accessability to the islets by helicopter would reduce the time requirements. f- No specific control is required for the wasps. However, certain precautic are warranted for personnel working in thick foliage. 1) * Head gear. 2) Long Sleeves and pants.
