06/21/ 2014 Little Fire Ants Success Story!-from CTAHR:Congratulations to Coffee Farmer, Kim Johnson of Rabbit Hill Road!!! After over a year of treating for Little Fire Ant with the Hawaii Ant Lab mixture of Tango and other ingredients(http://www.littlefireants.com/LFA%20fact%20sheet%205.4.pdf),Kim has eradicated LFA from her farm property. After contacting the Hawaii Ant Lab, Kim and her worker were instructed on how to treat for LFA found in her coffee trees, farm and mill. With judicious monthly Tango applications and surveys, Kim’s farm is now free of LFA. Surveys will continue to be sure that LFA do not return. Well done Kim!
