I've never called it, but in my mind I imagine calling the number and a sultry voice in a slightly British accent says, "Thank you for calling the Hawaii pest reporting hotline...Press one for Oahu." And if you press one it goes straight to the Oahu 911 emergency dispatch SWAT team (repeat for #2 Maui, and #3 Kauai).
But if you press #4 for 'Kona' it goes to voicemail with some monotone guy saying "leave a message" but no matter what you say, you never get a call back.
If you press #5 for "East side of the Big Island and all other areas" it's a crappy, nearly too quiet to hear recording recommending that you to go to the state LFA web site or hire an exterminator, but then the person making the recording forgets to hit the "stop" button on the recorder, doesn't realize that they have a hot mic, and before it clicks off you hear them say, "like we're going to chase fire ants from THERE" <audible laughter in the background>.
Click.
