Download National Invasive Ant Surveillance Programme Annual Report: 2014

The primary objectives of NIAS are to detect newly established nests of invasive ant species at high risk sites around New Zealand, and identify changes in distribution of exotic ant species already established in New Zealand. This is achieved by annual surveys of identified high-risk sites most likely to be the pathways for exotic ants imported via international trade and shipping. This report provides information on the 2014 survey and a comparison of the current results with previous surveys.
