Little fire ant infestation has spread to Ahuimanu

The little fire ant infestation on Oahu has spread to Ahuimanu. The invasive species were found in January on three acres of land near Ahuimanu Road. Crews from the State agriculture and Hawaii Ant Lab treated the area Thursday and conducted a second treatment in a nearby Kaneohe neighborhood where the ants were found in December. According to the State Board of Agriculture homeowners on all uninfested islands should check for little fire ants periodically.
