Invasive Fire Ants

All seven members of the Hawai'i Island State House Delegation are co-sponsoring a bill that would bolster efforts to combat invasive little fire ants. The bill, HB 1607, attempts to address the disproportionate impact the ant has had on Hawai'i County as compared to other islands, by establishing a pilot program which would allow Hawai'i County residents with documented little fire ant infestations to receive a coupon for a free one-year supply of the appropriate pesticide treatment. It also calls for the state Department of Agriculture to create a map detailing all infestation sites.
