The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services conducts a brown treesnake control program at Guam's civilian ports, including the Port Authority of Guam, Guam International Airport and the Harmon Industrial Park to prevent the spread of the brown treesnake to other islands in the Pacific.

Wildlife Services reports that 3,884 brown treesnakes were captured in Guam between October and December 2006. Most of these were taken with traps; some were captured by hand. Also included in this count are brown treesnakes that took baits of oral toxicants.

Permanent funding mechanisms are still being sought. Future funding will also need to take into account the impending military buildup of as many as 30,000 people and increased military training exercises on Guam, as well as new cargo routes to support the island's transportation needs. 

All of these activities will necessitate brown treesnake prevention measures, which will require additional money and staff. Continued communication and cooperation between all agencies, offices and the public are crucial in this ongoing effort to protect Pacific islands from brown treesnakes, while maintaining effective transportation networks and an able military.
