Proc Hawaiian Entomol Soc 41:113–119.0073-134Xhttp://hdl.handle.net/10125/14460Control of invasive ant species has predominantly been through the use of granular baits. These baits are not suitable for ant species that nest in trees and vegetation such as Wasmannia auropunctata, recently introduced to the Big Island and Kauai, Hawaii. In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the use of gel and paste baits for control of some invasive ant species. However, application of these bait types is difficult and time consuming. Here we describe new application methods for gel and paste baits in arboreal situations.7 pagesen-USant controlapplication equipmentbaitingFormicidaeintroduced speciesinvasive speciespesticide formulationsspatial distributiontreesWasmannia auropunctataArticle
