The latest and greatest on the war is discussed at the Hilo Ant Lab:

The August 30 workshop was well-atttended and highly informative. They even mixed the "Tango bait" in the hothouse to show us how it looked and we even shot some of it into the trees. The "Tango portion" of the recipe was just water to simulate it -- can't waste that expensive stuff.
With the weather we have been getting, it is perfect for AMDRO application. Do it once every 6 weeks but do the ENTIRE PROPERTY. A pound (that one bottle) covers a half acre so you should broadcast very sparingly. I've been treating my place and those granules are highly effective. 4 hours of non-rain is all that is required for the bait to work. Any zero rain beyond that is gravy.
Terracore thanks for the Amazon link -- that is the cheapest I've seen.
