Ants control Argentine ant Haleakala National Park

Summary:

The Haleakala Argentine Ant Project has been an effort, spanning the past 30 years, to understand the ecology of the invasive Argentine ant in Haleakala National Park (HALE) and, if possible, to develop management solutions for this important threat to park natural resources. Although the Argentine ant was recognized as a serious cause for concern soon after its detection in the park in 1967, research into management did not begin in earnest until the mid 1990s. Some of this research on Argentine ant control at HALE has previously been published in journal articles or agency reports, but much of it is reported for the first time here. This technical report provides an overview and summary of all of the Argentine ant control efforts that have taken place at HALE from 1994 through 2010.
