(Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in Seychelles, and its chemical control0 acrazy ant Anoplolepis longipes Jerd Hymenoptera Formicidae in Se  cMar.  a97-1110 v663 a*[The distribution & spread, interrelationship with other animals, & economic importance (mainly domestic) of Anoplolepis longipes (Jerd.) in Mahé, Seychelles, after its accidental introduction about 13 years ago, are described.  Temporary control measures based on solid & liquid baits formulated largely from local materials were devised.  Baits containing aldrin at 2·5% a.i. & applied at 10 kg (solid) & 20 kg (liquid)/ha decreased the abundance of foragers for about 50 days after treatment.  Other insecticides tested were less effective.  Bendiocarb (0·04% a.i.) sprayed onto walls of houses & buildings provided protection for about a week outdoors, & for up to 2-months indoors.  There are good prospects for the eventual decline & stability of populations of this ant on Mahé.]1 aLewis, T.1 aCherrett, J.M.1 aHaines, I.1 aHaines, J.B.1 aMathias, P.L.  uhttps://antkey.myspecies.info/th/node/33448
