Avoid. Unit has Little Fire Ants/‘electric ants’ which bit us in our sleep. Host knew from a previous guest but never treated the problem. We stayed 12/17-12/18/22.
We woke up with several bites & found tiny red ants on the bed. We located the wall where they were coming from. Told Megan, she acknowledged someone else had complained of the fire ants before, yet she hadn’t done anything to treat the problem (she mocked us as ‘insect experts’). We also showed her large amounts of insect droppings around the room, she said “that’s just from termites"
Megan offered to set ant bait and change the sheets, but that doesn’t fix an infestation & we couldn’t sleep there without fear of more bites. We got a hotel, AirBNB returned our cleaning fee.
They’re one of the world's most invasive species and are all over Hawaii, we get that. But they are painful & require constant treatment to remove. Hopefully she’s taken this issue more seriously this time & takes measures to make the unit habitable
