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.

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. h. a oo 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.
