The treated area in Nāhiku is about 175 acres and ranges from sea level to over 1,000 feet in elevation.
The size of the area may have factored into the project’s success. It’s a good test, and apparently worked, so let’s hope The County of Hawaii follows The County of Maui and provides funds for the helicopter and bait. Not just county ant collectors and counters to determine the size of the infestation, surveyors to measure the total area that requires treatment, and whatever other jobs can be performed by cousins and unkos of the appropriations committee.
