After using Tango for a few months without any reduction in LFA numbers, I went back to the Hawaii Ant Lab web site and discovered they aren't using it to eradicate LFA on the other islands because they found something else THAT WORKS.

Big News - Provaunt now available for HAL gel bait!
Monday, December 15, 2014
After about 4 years of negotiations, we finally have a "Special Needs Permit" to allow Provaunt to be used in the HAL gel bait.
Provaunt contains indoxacarb which is a new class of pesticide with a very low non-target toxicity. It works very differently from Tango and is very fast acting. Ideally, I would recommend that people use Tango for 3-4 treatments, then switch to Provaunt bait. This combination would have the best overall effect - the Tango disabling the queens, followed by Provaunt to wipe out any survivors.
We use this combination approach with the eradications on Maui, Kauai and Oahu and it has been very effective.
The Special Needs Permit can be downloaded by clicking this blog post.
Please call the lab or email us if you would like any more information.
cheers and happy holidays!
Provaunt in stock at CPS

hi folks,
CPS have just let me know that their shipment of Provaunt has arrived. They have it in 12 oz bottles which will be a lot more useful to most people than the 120 oz ones they had until now. Their location is 900 Leilani St Hilo which is the road to the Hilo Landfill. Their warehouse is just past the Railroad st intersection.
TERRACORE:
I called CPS and they do have the 12 ounce bottles in stock for $117.00. Unfortunately CPS is closed on the weekends but I'm going to get some next week and try it. Between that and the Siesta I just got, I'm hoping for some real change in the LFA numbers.
ETA: info
