When I got here in 04 I bought six acres in orchidland. Having a 700' driveway lined with every type of avocado, samoan coconut, citrus trees, mango, mtn apple, starfruit, etc...etc.... loaded with fire ants. I first went in and 5 minutes of hacking with a machete I was feeling intense burning, even the neighbor that was helping me was doing the fire ant dance and both had no idea what was going on! So, I called the state and figured they would send someone out to help me evaluate the situation, but they pretty much just told me I could do the peanut butter popsicle trick and send in some frozen ones in. DUHHH, I pretty much know these are LFA being stung by them just walking down the driveway in cool breeze. Fun stuff! Then I ask, what can I do and the mention something with amdro and that was all the help they could provide! Wow, thanks, then after buying a couple of hundred bucks worth of any poison and watching it work for about a week, until the wind blew them onto the driveway from the trees again. Joy, that's not working! Meanwhile the neighbor next door was in the landscaping business and having tons of mulch delivered so he could infest it with fire ants and bring it to everyone else! State don't care about that also!
Wait till the tourist stop coming to hawaii because they are getting stung trying to enjoy a picnic in the park. BTW, don't eat under the trees in Hilo parks. Once I got covered with them trying to enjoy my loco moco. UH is full of them. Don't sit down at any of the green tables. You hardly see any students sitting on the lawn in Hilo, wonder why?
