Jeffery, Mick (Natural Resources Manager) Mick Jeffery manages the yellow crazy ant (YCA) control program, on Christmas Island since mid 2002. Micks remarks ... "In that period we have conducted an aerial baiting program (2500 hectares of tropical rainforest) and an annual ground baiting program (4 staff, baiting approx 250 ha per year). Every two years we undertake an exhaustive ant distribution and density survey across the entire island which takes 6 persons 3 months to complete. This provides us with incredibly detailed management information on current YCA distributions and densities, effectiveness of previous baiting operations, recovery of land crab fauna, and assists us to prioritise our baiting operations for the next two years. We have a lot of unpublished reports on YCA control, monitoring and research which I can forward to interested people".
