Dayna, yes, I'm also newly aware my yard & house (upper HPP off Makuu) have LFA. They love the trees, & are non aggressive until they fall on you. Cass, entomologist at the Dept of Ag said if you have bites on your upper body, they are usually LFA. When I asked for Amdro at Home Depot they said they are out & not getting any more until Sept. Walmart was also out, so I found it at Ace. The bait deteriorates in rain & sun, so covering it w/ something sounds like a good idea. There's a great website specifically for LFA in Hawaii at: http://www.littlefireants.com/index.htm go to the link on the left for info sheets. It will answer all your questions.
