    Bird Is.
    The current management of crazy ants on Bird island comprises the spraying of insecticide around habitations and the sooty tern nesting area. Gerlach (2004) suggests habitat management as a means of reducing crazy ant abundance. Crazy ants are mainly found in coconut plantations as these provide shade and nesting places for the ant. The natural regenerating woodland consisting mainly of P. grandis is a more open structure that is less suitable for A. gracilipes. Removing the remaining coconut trees and facilitating the regeneration of natural woodland would reduce crazy ant populations.
    Cairns
    Previous infestations of crazy ants have been successfully eradicated at Cairns and Townsville through a coordinated government response.
    New South Wales
    The invasion of the yellow crazy ant into NSW is listed as a as a key threatening process. The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) Australia provides for the identification and listing of key threatening processes. A process can be listed as a key threatening process if it could: cause a native species or ecological community to become eligible for inclusion in a threatened list (other than the conservation dependent category); or cause an already listed threatened species or threatened ecological community to become more endangered; or adversely affect two or more listed threatened species or threatened ecological communities. The assessment of a threatening process as a key threatening process is the first step to addressing the impact of a particular threat under Commonwealth law.

    The crazy ant has been intercepted at least 161 times since 1988 in Australian ports, with 40% of the interceptions in NSW ports (DECC, 2005).

    The crazy ant infestation on Goodwood Island on the NSW North Coast is subject to an eradication programme, using poisoned baits, being carried out by the NSW Department of Primary Industries' Biosecurity, Compliance and Mine Safety Directorate and the Department of Environment and Conservation (DECC, 2005).

    New Zealand
    Harris and Barker (2007) report that "New Zealand is probably too cold for A. gracilipes and S. geminata, so management of incursions of these species is probably unnecessary.
    Northeast Arnhem Land
    The eradication project in NE Arnhem Land is a collaboration between Dhimurru Land Management Aboriginal Corporation, CSIRO, Alcan Gove, Department of Environment and Heritage, Northern Territory Government, Indigenous Land Corporation and the Northern Land Council. The project which began in 2004, is expected to last for 4 years.

    The yellow crazy ant eradication project in northeast Arnhem Land is the largest eradication project for this ant on mainland Australia. In the interest of sharing knowledge of invasive ant management, Dr. Ben Hoffmann has provided a brief project description as well as the project protocols here for public use. The project protocols are dynamic, and as such are updated from time to time as new knowledge is obtained or as requirements change.

    Please follow these links to read Brief Project Description and Project protocols.

    Any queries relating to these documents can be directed to Ben.Hoffmann@csiro.au

    Northern Territory
    The eradication campaign should be starting soon, and will follow the protocols developed for the control of this ant on Christmas Island.
    Nu’ulua
    An operational plan to eradicate Pacific rats is being prepared by David Butler Associates Ltd in consultation with the Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment and Marine (Samoa) and Pacific Invasive Initiative (PII) staff. In addition to eradicating rats it is proposed to experimentally reduce yellow crazy ant (A. gracilipes) densities on Nu’ulua Island.
    Queensland
    The crazy ant is a Class 1 declared pest animal in Quennsland. A Class 1 pest is one that is not commonly present in Queensland, and if introduced would cause an adverse economic, environmental or social impact. Class 1 pests established in Queensland are subject to eradication from the state. Landowners must take reasonable steps to keep land free of Class 1 pests.

    Incursions which have been detected are monitored and re-treated as and when required. The treatment outlined by the Department of Natural Resources, and Water; Governement of Queensland is as follows:

    Outbreaks of crazy ants can be controlled and may be eradicated with baits treated with the insecticide Fipronil, if they are detected before any large scale spread occurs. Protein bait pellets made of commercial fishmeal laced with insecticide are spread in the vicinity of the nests. The foraging ants then collect the pellets and carry them back to the colony. Once introduced to the nest, the bait is shared around the colony, eventually being given to the queens. As the queens are the only ants able to reproduce, the death of the queen ensures that the colony is destroyed. The baits look like small chook pellets and are scattered over grassed and dirt areas. Where it is not possible to scatter the pellets bait stations will be used. The bait stations will be either white discs (10cm across) or a piece of black tube (10cm long), covered by a fine steel mesh and securely fixed to the ground to ensure that the stations are not interfered with by dogs and other wildlife. The bait stations will be removed when the ant population has been destroyed. Signs will indicate where bait stations have been laid. Please follow this link for more details Crazy ants: Warning

Series of unpublished Landcare Research contract reports to Biosecurity New Zealand. BAH/35/2004-1.
            摘要: The invasive ant risk assessment project, prepared for Biosecurity New Zealand by Landcare Research, synthesises information on the ant species that occur in New Zealand (native and introduced species), and on invasive ants that pose a potential threat to New Zealand.
    There is a great deal of information in this risk assessment on invasive ant species that is of global interest, including; biology, distribution, pest status, control technologies.
    The assessment project has five sections.1) The Ants of New Zealand: information sheets on all native and introduced ants established in New Zealand 2) Preliminary invasive ant risk assessment: risk scorecard to quantify the threat to New Zealand of 75 ant species. 3) Information sheets on invasive ant threats: information sheets on all ant species scored as medium to high risk (n = 39). 4) Pest risk assessment: A detailed pest risk assessment for the eight species ranked as having the highest potential risk to New Zealand (Anoplolepis gracilipes, Lasius neglectus, Monomorium destructor, Paratrechina longicornis, Solenopsis geminata, Solenopsis richteri, Tapinoma melanocephalum, Wasmannia auropunctata) 5) Ranking of high risk species: ranking of the eight highest risk ant species in terms of the risks of entry, establishment, spread, and detrimental consequences.
    NB. The red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) is considered to be the worst ant pest in the world. However, Solenopsis invicta was specifically excluded from consideration in this risk assessment as this species has already been subject to detailed consideration by Biosecurity New Zealand
    (This invasive ant pest risk assessment was funded by Biosecurity New Zealand and Foundation for Research, Science and Technology. Undertaken by Landcare Research in collaboration with Victoria University of Wellington and Otago Museum)

            摘要: The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species provides taxonomic, conservation status and distribution information on taxa that have been globally evaluated using the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria. This system is designed to determine the relative risk of extinction, and the main purpose of the IUCN Red List is to catalogue and highlight those taxa that are facing a higher risk of global extinction (i.e. those listed as Critically Endangered, Endangered and Vulnerable). The IUCN Red List also includes information on taxa that are categorized as Extinct or Extinct in the Wild; on taxa that cannot be evaluated because of insufficient information (i.e. are Data Deficient); and on taxa that are either close to meeting the threatened thresholds or that would be threatened were it not for an ongoing taxon-specific conservation programme (i.e. are Near Threatened).
