*[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.]
