I too have the LFA problem on my lot in HPP. I have a heavy infestation and had good results with the black label Amdro poison. The only problem with Amdro is, you cannot dispense it while the ground is wet/moist. And it cannot rain within 24 hours after the poison is dispensed. Being in a wet area like HPP, I have to keep on dispensing this expensive stuff to kill the LFA. But a month or so later, the LFA comes back. They are in a vacant lot adjacent to mine.
The only time the LFA stings you, is when they are "trapped" between you and your clothes(or jewelry, etc.). To date, I have been sting well over 30 times. I too am allergic to bees, wasps, fire ants, etc. I am also undergoing immunotherapy through Dr. Wang. Dr. Wang says this is the only immunotherapy that is 100% effective. I am nearing the completion of the therapy (about 9 months long).
I noticed the LFA likes to live in strawberry guava, ohia, orchids, etc. You can tell they are LFA if they are very tiny, and don't move any faster when you bother them. Also, when you blow at them, they just fly away (all other ants can grip onto whatever they are walking on).
