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. | |

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 contirol
personnel and one Entomologist.

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 wecks.
