Join Brooke Mahnken, LFA coordinator and data manager (MISC) to learn about the pilot project two years ago in battling itʻs biggest little fire ant population in a remote east Maui location. Using helicopters to spray bait aimed at sterilizing ant queens, MISC staff conducted surveys during the pandemic to assess if the treatments have been successful- and it’s working!
