Little Fire Ant Workshop
​for Commercial Coffee, Fruit and Nut Growers


Wednesday, February 26, 2020
9:00 am – 11:30 am
Kona Cooperative Extension Service Conference Room
(79-7381 Mamalahoa Highway, Kealakekua, HI 96750)
Registration is required. 
​
This class is limited to 30 participants. 
Register below (preferred) or contact Matt at 808-322-0164 by Feb. 24. 

Little Fire Ants (Wasmannia auropunctata) or LFA, are vicious little ants with a sting that can leave you in pain. They can be found in the home, in nearly any crack or crevice, or on the farm, in trees where they have been known to “rain down” on people causing serious welts and long lasting discomfort.If not controlled, LFA can become a major agricultural pest. They can infest fields, where they can damage crops and sting workers. 
 
UH CTAHR and the Hawaii Ant Lab (HAL) welcome you to their informational and interactive workshop on Little Fire Ants. During this hands-on workshop, Kiyoshi Adachi of HAL will teach participants about LFA management basics. He will guide participants in surveying for LFA and demonstrate mixing of bait for treatment in orchard crop situations. UH Extension faculty and staff will be assisting with this event. 
 
Participants will be given a free LFA sampling kit. 
 
If you suspect LFA on your farm, please bring in a FROZEN/DEAD sample. Be sure to collect the ants in a jar or plastic container with a tight lid, freeze the ants for at least 2 days, and provide your name, collection location, and contact information with your sample
