Wikimedia Commons

Officials are optimistic they can eradicate the ingestion of little fire ants discovered recently in a Kaneohe neighborhood.

The department was successful when a larger population was found in Mililani several years ago. It was deemed fire ant free.

We talked to Becky Azama, Plant Pest Control Manager of the Department of Agriculture.
